Read It Twice... It's Real!

You are invited to the premier of a new Canadian play by Jim Davies.  Here in Ottawa Friday Nov 6 and Saturday Nov 7 only!


The title,  Read It Twice... It's Real!,  comes from a hypothesis of the main character, a woman completing her PhD in Dream Research.  You might read something and wonder if you're still dreaming.  If you read it twice, however, it's real!
The play juxtaposes situations that are real with those that are less-than-real.

Jen has put her love-life on hold while she finishes up her extensive education. Her Jewish mother (Deborah) comes to visit and suggests (!) that it's time for Jen to find someone. As this play is set 40 years in the future, Jen decides to order an android to fit the bill. A Jewish android. Now she must convince her mother that she has found the perfect match!


Friday Nov 6 and Sat Nov 7
8 pm curtain
complimentary admission
Ottawa, Carleton University, Architecture Building, "The Pit"


CAST:
Jen     - Vanessa Davies
Deborah - Deborah Barry

Maude   - Laura Cooper

Sock 'n' Buskin Production

Stage Management by Jessica Chin
Produced by Rebecca Scholtz

Directions: 
The Architecture Building is to the right of the main University Centre building (where you can see the bookstore). Parking Lot 2.

BY CAR - Drive into the campus from Bronson.  At the bend, turn right onto Campus Ave. which bends to the left.  The entrance to Parking Lot 2 is at the far end it.  The entrance is on the right, just before the construction fences.  You'll then drive all the way back to the near end of the parking lot - and the Architecture Building is in front of you.
O Train - there is a Carleton stop on Campus Ave.  Turn left.  When you see the Parking Lot, the Architecture Building is on your right.

It's a clever script!  Hope to see you there!

playful october workshops

Sunday Oct 25

Ask and It is Given

Law of Attraction Workshop

A Gaggle of Giggles:

Laughter Medicine

Ottawa -- The Bronson Centre, 211 Bronson,  Sunday Oct 25


Law of Attraction Workshop  1:30 - 3:00

Laughter Medicine 3:00 - 4:30  
dinner out together at 5:00 SooRa Korean Restaurant


A Gaggle of Giggles is Laughter Medicine!

Aside from Deborah's work as a Personal Development Therapist, she is also a qualified Drama Teacher. She puts her skills together with her knowledge to deliver great laughter resources! 
 
This course starts by establishing the medical benefits of laughter. Deborah then introduces techniques from Method Acting and does some demonstrations to put everyone in the mood. The class gets into the action and soon everyone is giggling, chuckling, and out-right laughing out loud (LOL)!
  
"Ask and It is Given" Law of Attraction Workshop  
 
This is the Law of Attraction in Action.  In the teachings of Abraham-Hicks, there are three stages to completing goals. 
 
One, ask.  
Two, allow it to happen.   
Three, it is given.  
 
The tricky part is to figure out how to allow.  This course introduces the Art of Allowing and provides an opportunity for those who have heard about or read about the Law of Attraction to practice "putting it into practice! 
 
 
 
COST:

  • These workshops are $33 each or 2 for $50.
  • Stay for both workshops and pay just $50. (save $11) 
  • Bring a friend to one workshop and pay $50 for the two of you. (save $11)
