This meetup group is for people who enjoy going to smaller theaters - rather than the larger venues where most seats are so far from the stage that you have to imagine the actors' expressions! Everyone buys their tickets separately, although the entire group also meets before the play to have a meal together, and often goes for coffee afterwards as well. But no problem if you just want to meet up for the play itself sometimes - that's fine too! While suggestions from group members are always wel …

THE EINSTEIN PLAN is an interactive theatre event by Donald Freed that asks, How can we change America? There's big power in small numbers when the audience answers together. Albert Einstein figured out that if only 2% of our population engages in non-violent protests, change will happen. It's a phenomenon, a performance, a way to organize communities, a teach-in, and it's fun, engaging, provocative, different every time. This play is available for FREE if you don't charge admission.

There is a decided lack of amateur community theaters in this end of the valley, and I would like to change that! I am looking for a few (or many!!) passionate people who love to work in any and every aspect of the theater, with the end goal of creating a troupe and performing for our community. Our first goal will be to find each other and see what we want to do. Perhaps we would start by reading a play or two and seeing how we click. We can see where it goes from there...

In the this meetup, I work on all the basics of acting. These are: cold readings, scene study, improv, and monologues. Scene study is the basis of actor training. We use scripts from films which I supply in addition to those brought in by students. Actors who join my class are expected to work with a scene partner outside of class during the week and to bring the scene back to class for performance. We may video tape the scene if it is ready. The actor learns a lot by seeing themselves on camera …
