Time to improvise!

Events to look forward to this weekend

Calling all theatre lovers! Rove Hotels is launching a community initiative with The Courtyard Playhouse, Dubai's improvisational theatre experts. Every third Thursday of the month, for ten months, will see 'This is Improv' shows taking place at different Rove Hotels across Dubai. As the name suggests, every show will be completely unrehearsed in terms of plot and dialogue, and is sure to be a treat to watch. The shows are free and open to all, but registration is required at www.rovehotels.com/rove-blog/improv-nights-rove-hotels/.

Crazy about Oreos
Can't get enough of those beloved Oreo cookies? Well, neither can Tim Hortons which will be launching Oreo-themed treats available across the region between August 26- October 5. Which means you can slurp up an Oreo Iced Capp or take on the more traditional Oreo Frappe. There's also going to be a signature cream-filled doughnut to sink your teeth into called the Oreo Puff, as well as Oreo Timbits for those looking for a smaller snack. Be sure to treat yourself!
Pedal your way to victory
City Centre Sharjah knows that health and fitness often take a backseat during the hotter months, so it has devised a genius way to get people moving. Introducing Pedal Power, a game created exclusively for visitors of the mall that is modelled after slot racing cars - but instead of remote controls, you'll be using your own energy by peddling a stationary bike. Six participants compete in each round, with the winners receiving a medal and vouchers. Open throughout summer, this one is sure to be a treat for the whole family. For more information, check out www.citycentresharjah.com.
