This group is for Movie, Theater, Museum, Literature, Arts, and Culture enthusiasts in the New York area. NYC has so much to offer and we will explore together!    

This group is designed to explore the ways in which social media and technology can help bring arts and culture to the masses. "Democratizing" the arts has been a long-standing goal in the art world, and no medium makes it more feasible than the web. The purpose of this meetup is to bring together those working at the intersection of arts and technology to share ideas, strategies, successes, challenges and failures, and to explore the following questions: - How can the new technology ava …

Sleep No More, Nitehawk Cinema, The Public Theater, St. Ann's Warehouse, PS 122, New Museum, MOMA, IFC, Film Forum, Park Avenue Armory.. Please add to the list of places and events featuring cultural, experimental happenings. I find most groups focused on eating out, happy hours or touristy pursuits. I tend toward the more challenging sometimes pricey places and events that make you feel and think or at least provide you with a cool experience. Seeking members about 25 to 45 to be among peers.

… Playwright members pay dues of $75 per quarter (12 meetings).  If you're a playwright, we'd like to see a writing sample and a production resume.  We will read your materials before inviting you to audit up to three meetings--to see our process and get the feel of the ensemble.  Dues must be paid in advance of having any work read. Actor members are charged a yearly administrative fee, but are also paid modest honoraria for public performances.  If you're an actor, we'd like to see a headshot an …

                             Love to go to see indie and foreign films and then talk about them afterward? Me, too!   Hi, I'm Francesca, an indie filmmaker and trans-media artist who lived in Manhattan for 25 years and thought nothing of calling a friend and suggesting we meet in an hour at one of the many arthouse theaters around town. But, when I moved to NJ I found my friends here did NOT share my tastes so I created the NJ ArthouseFilm Society (just to sound fancy). And, wouldn't you know i …

This group was created for new parents, and parents of young children, who are trying to find at least a small amount of time to indulge their passion while devoting themselves to the demanding tasks of new parenthood. You’ll meet many other parents just like you who share a love for theater and/or writing and who long to connect with people in the same situation. We try to meet once a month – at Prospect Park when weather permits – or at the Tea Lounge or similar public space. Meetings may also …

… Discussion, community and "pot-luck" refreshments are a part of each reading. From time to time, we present stage readings and full productions. This group produced its first work, Sam Shepard's  Curse of the Starving Class, at the Barrow Group Studio Theater on May 15, 2011. We then produced an Equity showcase production of this same work in September of 2011 for 12 performances at the Bridge Theater in Manhattan with 5 Equity and 4 non-Equity actors. The group also encourages playwrights to su …

Update: Hello. We are currently starting the casting process for a feature film we hope to shoot late summer.
