SUMMARY:Wednesday Night Impro: Maestro
DESCRIPTION:Ten actors converge for a night of scenes\, songs and games based on audience suggestions. After each round you score the players on a scale of 1 to 5\, and the one with the lowest score is eliminated. Eventually only one remains\, to be crowned the Maestro. “Fast-paced\, unpredictable\, and hilarious” says the promo\, and you couldn’t argue with that. As with all Courtyard improv evenings it’s free\, but you need to put your name on the guestlist (via the website); and it’s first-come first-served\, so get there early enough to grab a seat. \n

SUMMARY:Winter Special – Theatresports: Santas vs Elves
DESCRIPTION:A newish Courtyard tradition: competitive improv. In Theatresports\, teams of improvisors compete against each other for points awarded by a panel of judges. The teams issue challenges to each other on the seasonal theme\, and the judges are looking for how well the improvisors react (usually in terms of narrative\, technique\, and entertainment – judges can hand out warnings or penalties for being boring). One team will get through to win the coveted Theatresports trophy … It’s great fun\, and it’s free. You need to put your name down on the webpage’s guestlist\, though\, and turn up early because the RSVP doesn’t guarantee you a seat. There’s a second Theatresports Special on 13 December.

SUMMARY:Wednesday Night Impro: Maestro
DESCRIPTION:Ten actors converge for a night of scenes\, songs and games based on audience suggestions. After each round you score the players on a scale of 1 to 5\, and the one with the lowest score is eliminated. Eventually only one remains\, to be crowned the Maestro. “Fast-paced\, unpredictable\, and hilarious” says the promo\, and you couldn’t argue with that. As with all Courtyard improv evenings it’s free\, but you need to put your name on the guestlist (via the website); and it’s first-come first-served\, so get there early enough to grab a seat.

SUMMARY:Sal & Rushdi Do Comedy feat Saad Haroon
DESCRIPTION:Two of the Courtyard’s favourite performers with an evening of improv and stand-up. There are sets from Salman Qureshi\, who lays the groundwork by dissecting the absurdities of everyday life; and Rushdi Rafeek\, who takes those everyday observations and launches them into the stratosphere with his unique storytelling. After the interval\, Saad Haroon takes the stage with “a masterclass in razor-sharp social commentary\, turning the entire room into an orchestra of laughter”. The evening winds up with all three on stage for “a finale that promises to be as unpredictable as it is hilarious”. \nIt’s free\, but you need to put your name on the guestlist (via the website); and it’s first-come first-served\, so get there early enough to grab a seat.

SUMMARY:That Place
DESCRIPTION:This looks interesting: a series of monologues by women on the theme of “that place we escape to – in our mind – when sh*t hits the fan”. It’s a development of the Express Yourself sessions that have been running around dubai for a couple of years as a kind of open mic for acting talent. \nThe play is directed by Rosine Saad\, a name in the theatre scene in the city\, who also runs Express Yourself. As she puts it\, “Most of our battles are fought in our heads on a daily basis. We retreat to a dark place inside where our frustration\, anger\, and bad energy are set free. In this play\, this private and hidden place takes centerstage …” \nFeatures Afaf Bibi\, Aida Laubach\, Aishwarya Searing & TRE Dancers\, Alana Hicks\, Anika Ali\, Catherine Broad\, Farrah Yassin\, and Lamya Tawfik\, with live music by Noor and Ghina Mounzer. \nThere’s a second performance on 23 September. Both are free\, but pre-register – first come first served.
