Join us for a night of completely unscripted comedy, where quick thinking, wild ideas, and audience suggestions collide. We’ve got TWO improv teams ready to make some comedy completely on the spot:
Answering Machine — Short Form ("Whose Line Is it Anyway?" style) improv troupe hailing from Pawtucket, RI!
Duran, Duran, Duran, Duran, Duran, Duran, Duran — The newly minted 140Arts House Team! Come see this ever changing group of silly people as they create hilarity from a single suggestion. Every show is a "Once in a Lifetime" experience!
After the teams perform, we’re opening things up for an IMPROV JAM! Members of the audience will have the chance to jump onstage and play improv games alongside performers from both teams. Never done improv before? That’s okay! Come up, be ridiculous, and give it a try — or stay safely in your seat and enjoy the chaos. The whole night of laughs only for $5. Pay at the door or pre-purchase on Eventbrite.&nbsp;

Spanning 50 miles from Worcester to Providence, the Blackstone River features distinct contrasts - from urban and industrial centers to rural and natural environments, shaped by both heavy industrial use and ongoing conservation efforts. Through aerial and ground-level photography, long-time Blackstone Valley photographers James Hunt and Bob Evans showcase ecological history and diverse landscapes rarely seen by the casual observer.
Opening reception with light refreshments: Thursday, November 5, 5–8 pm Gallery hours: Monday–Friday, 9 am–4 pm On view through December 18, 2026
Incorporating both digital imagery and traditional film, this exhibition brings together two complimentary artistic perspectives. James Hunt draws on a decade of environmental photography and his background in sustainability to piece together the River’s multi-layered story, accompanied by the short film A Brief Conversation with the Blackstone River (co-created with Evans). Bob Evans applies a meticulous, engineering-informed eye to capture human impact, quiet decay, and structural details along the waterway. Together, their work invites viewers to look beyond the surface, consider the River’s storied past, and re-examine our collective responsibility to the natural world.
