CREATED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE WORLD RENOWNED:
“Laughter is the closest distance between two people.”
Victor Borge
NO THEATER EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED.
This is all about spontaneous fun bringing you and your grandchild closer together.
The Nursery/Maydays are happy to partner with Grandparents Unleashed to offer this specialty workshop specifically designed to get grandparents and grandchildren in different locations relating and playing together in a brand new way. Through the storytelling and games that you’ll learn with us, your intergenerational family will discover new ways to connect (and laugh!) with one another.

The second two weeks will bring the groups together for the entire class to have grandparents and grandchildren playing along side of one another, culminating with a private performance for family and friends.
Feeling Grand? Who this is for:
In addition to grandparents and grandchildren, we include Chosen Families in our definition of families. Grands can also gift this intergenerational experience to grandnieces, nephews, grandgodchildren, and niblings.

Survey Says…Improv Brings Families Closer Together
We know that improvisation strengthens the communication and connections between individuals and we want to show the world. Parents will be contacted before the class begins and participants will be asked to complete a brief survey at the beginning and end of the session.
