SUMMARY:Monkey Business Institute Improv
DESCRIPTION:Monkey Business Institute (MBI) is Madison’s favorite improv comedy company\, made up of seasoned performers who have been creating laughter and connection in our community for 20+ years. We believe—just like Gilda’s Club—that laughter is powerful\, healing\, and best enjoyed in a space where everyone feels welcome\, respected\, and safe. \nEach MBI show is completely custom\, inspired by audience suggestions and shaped in the moment. That means no scripts\, no re-runs\, and no picking on anyone—ever. Our performers are kind humans first and comedians second\, and our goal is always to lift people up\, not put them on the spot. Audience participation is always invitational\, supportive\, and done with care\, so everyone can relax and enjoy the fun. \nThis one-hour show is packed with fast-paced\, classic short-form improv comedy that’s smart\, clean\, and laugh-out-loud funny. The content is appropriate for all ages—delighting kids\, adults\, and anyone who appreciates clever humor with heart. Expect big laughs\, joyful surprises\, and a room full of people feeling connected\, seen\, and a little lighter than when they arrived. \nJoin us for this great evening of the unexpected\, improv\, and laughter.

SUMMARY:4th Annual Madison Mental Health Market
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Madtown Artisans in support of and in collaboration with SOAR (Supporting Opportunities for Advocacy and Resilience)\, the Madison Mental Health Market is a time and space that both organizations have cultivated since November 2023 for people of all walks of life who have lived experience of trauma\, emotional distress\, and all the other things systems often call “mental health” or substance use challenges. It’s a place where finding a means of support in the pursuit of living well\, creativity\, and community not only exist together in the same space\, but they influence one another in large and small ways. It’s a place where local people of all walks of life who create fine arts\, crafts\, jewelry\, stories & books\, herbal goods\, prints\, yarn arts\, food\, and so much more can share their work and connect with others who have shared identities. \nMany of the people supported by SOAR are also artists\, makers\, writers\, creators\, and dreamers building something incredibly meaningful in their lives. This market is meant to be an accessible opportunity for people of all walks of life to take the steps into sharing their work publicly\, build confidence in themselves & their business\, and participate in the local creative economy with others who have been professional creatives in the Madison vending community for anywhere from a year or two to decades. \nIf you\, a friend\, a loved one\, or if you’re a mental health professional\, someone you support may enjoy vending\, volunteering\, or simply attending\, please feel free to share this opportunity with them. Folks applying to be a vendor do not need to be professional artists\, makers\, authors\, or creators! They just need to be people who make things and want to be part of a supportive community space. \nIf you’d like to support the market in other ways\, we are also accepting donations to help cover vendor booth fees and seller’s permits for vendors who may not otherwise be able to participate. Making this market financially accessible is one of our biggest priorities. We hope to do this in support of maximizing equity\, allowing creatives from all economic backgrounds to participate\, learn\, and connect\, building a stronger & more diverse community. \nIf you have questions\, feel free to reach out to Madtown Artisans. And if this resonates with you\, please help spread the word! \nThis market is just one small piece of a much bigger picture – people supporting one another in building lives that feel creative\, meaningful\, and connected. Every story deserves respect and every creator deserves space at the table to share their story and their art. Help us in continuing to create something beautiful and powerful for a fourth year. 💛 \n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\nIf you’d like to make a donation\, please donate via SOAR’s website here: https://soarcms.org/support-the-movement.
