SUMMARY:Write Club: Off The Cuff
DESCRIPTION:Off The Cuff is a casual\, creative writing workshop\, perfect for those who want to flex their creative muscles and meet other folks who love the craft.  \n\n\n\nWho: Anyone who loves to write for fun and/or experiment with the craft \n\n\n\nWhen: Thursday\, May 29th at 6pm – 8pm (End time is approximate) \n\n\n\nWhere: The Second Floor of Milk Shop at 45 William Street \n\n\n\nWhy: Because writing and being creative is fun! \n\n\n\nNo formal writing experience is required – bring some paper and something to write with. If you’re more comfortable using a laptop or tablet\, feel free to bring that instead. This will be a relaxed and casual evening where you can practice\, strengthen\, and/or experiment with your writing. \n\n\n\nThe evening will start with a mini lesson\, then\, you’ll have the rest of the night to write and socialize. Like with comedy improv shows\, we’ll be choosing writing prompts at random. Oh\, and that’s not all.

She specializes in disturbing horror stories and post-apocalyptic science fiction\, but isn’t afraid to get silly and experiment with her writing. When she’s not crafting nightmare fuel\, this crazy cat person runs The Book Purge fundraiser in support of the Ottawa Stray Cat Rescue.

SUMMARY:Aspects of Love: A Choral Concert
DESCRIPTION:A heartfelt musical journey exploring the different faces of love – romantic passion\, heartbreak\, self-discovery\, and the deep bonds of friendship. With music spanning madrigals to musical theatre\, we’ll celebrate the complexity and beauty of love in all its forms.  \n\n\n\nSome songs include strong language — because love isn’t always polite.  \n\n\n\nThe concert will be approx. 60 mins with a light reception to follow.  \n\n\n\nThe venue is First Unitarian\, which is a wheelchair accessible space and has gender neutral single stall washrooms in addition to multiple stall gendered washrooms. Seating is cushioned wooden pews. The space is secular in nature.  \n\n\n\nFree parking is available on site and there are nearby bus stops.
