Resonance is a free, all-ages event hosted by St. Brigidâs Episcopal Church and Oceanside Theatre Company, that builds community through creative expression. Itâs a space for all creatively-inclined people â artists, musicians, writers, and more â to showcase their work and to practice spontaneous creation together.
Itâs not quite an open mic, jam session, drum circle, or art night â but it has elements of all of these. And everyone who comes is welcome to participate as much or as little as they choose. If youâd prefer to just come and enjoy the vibe and performances, you are welcome to do that too.

Join us for a fun journey of laughter, spontaneity and endless possibilities as we explore the fundamentals of improv in a supportive environment.

We will focus on building trust, sharpening listening skills, gaining confidence to think creatively in the moment, the concept of Yes AndâŚ, and so much more.
