This group was started because my book club never read the books. We decided to go to the theatre and have a discussion after the show. Town Hall thought it was a great idea and it's now an official theatre event that includes a talk back with the cast a free glass of wine. Go to www.townhalltheatre.com for more information. You can usually show a few minutes before the show and buy your tickets at the box office.

We are new, groundbreaking company looking for interested artists, actors, and theatre folk to join us in creating an alliance of people whose mission is to develop challenging theatrical works for a contemporary audience, effectively incorporating new technology, re-imagining theatrical conventions, and setting a new standard in live performance.

I am looking to create a cabaret act that is inspired by old vaudevillian, circus and Grand-Guignol theatre. I need people who either, 1) know what they're doing with regard to theater and/or 2) I need some acts. P.S. We also don't have a performance space so if you know of any... Just to be up front, I don't know much about theater arts, but I know much about the history of this type of theatre and also know some individuals with a passion for theatre that can help me. Additionally, I have alwa …

I took a wonderful play writing class at The Playwright's Foundation in San Francisco. It gave me an appreciation for the group dynamic that a class offers. Since I am not in the position to take a class at the moment I would love to have a meet up that offers what a class environment does. It is invaluable to the writing process to hear one's words read and being exposed to the ideas others has been a rewarding and enriching experience. I also love the idea of writing in a group setting. This s …

Welcome to The IMC Academy Meetup Group. We specialize in passing on the Teachings of The Legendary Broadway Acting Coach, Manu Tupou. Gleaning true knowledge and workable applications from his extensive educational experience in the arts, Manu Tupou formulated his discoveries into the simplistic, but revolutionary, "New Era Acting Technique" (NEAT). The hallmark of the NEAT technique is its respect for the sanctity and sanity of the individual artist-upgrading the artist's creation away from th …

Variety is the spice of life, says the old adage. I think veg*ns can do a lot of different things as veg*ns, besides just eating together. I do like trying good restaurants, and I do like potlucks, but that's not all there is to life. Veg*ns need to find friends with whom they share other interests, besides a similar diet. In my life, music, dancing, movies, art, theatre, games, literature, dogs, nature, travel, museums, and animal welfare all contribute to my sense of identity, and my feeling t …
