This is a group for people interesting in participating in an amateur production of the operetta "Amahl & The Night Visitors." I started this group because I have loved the charming story of Amahl since childhood. I would like to bring others together to explore the possibility of staging a simple performance of this beloved story for Christmas, 2013. Looking forward to meeting fellow Amahl devotees and planning production.

This is a group for creatives in all arts disciplines in the Ashland, Virginia area to find each other for potential collaboration. I believe that Ashland has a lot of "arts" professionals and hobbyists who live under the radar, and are looking for significant change in attitudes about arts both locally and nationally. This is a call out not only to fine artists who might think that the area is not ready for the subject matter that they deal with, but also for musicians, dancers, videographers, …

This Meetup is for anyone who loves the art of poetry/spoken word and for those performers that would like to have their word heard.

This group began due to a need for a new group for those of us baby boomers in the 45 to 65 age range in the Alexandria/Southern Fairfax County area.  You do not HAVE to be 45 or older to join, just know that most of our members will be within this age group.  Also, you do not have to live in the Alexandria area, but many of our events will be scheduled in the Alexandria/DC area.  Perhaps you work in this area and would love something to do after work?  Come join us! I have been involved with me …

This meetup is for anyone who loves the arts or cultural events. I hope to see you at an event soon! Sincerely, The organizer

Hey Guys, My name is Kendra Gaines. Im 24, a 2010 VCU graduate and a creative. As of late, I've been having a hard time trying to find other creatives in this area. With the current enrichment of communities in Norfolk and surrounding cities, there seem to be advancements and a push to grow two obvious groups; those that are technical and business-based and those that are extremely artsy. I want to know if you would be interested in helping me spear head a community of creatives who are not tech …

This year the Gainesville and Manassas communities are joining the world-wide phenomenon of Flash Mobs. For those of you not familiar with this latest craze, a flash mob is a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place to perform an act (usually dance) and then suddenly disperse. (Remember the scene in “Friends with Benefits” with Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis “mobbing” in Grand Central Station?) Interested in having fun? We think the element of surprise is the most intriguing par …

To All: Filmmakers, Screenwriters, Actors, Producers, and Crew Members This is a new group I've formed for feature filmmakers and screenwriters and actors who would like to participate in collaborating on projects. This is more than a networking group, we will be trying to set some goals for each member and get people inspired to complete their current projects. For those that have ideas and concepts they would like to make in to a reality, my hope is that this group can help people achieve it. …

We're interested in a little of everything. We don't just like books, or knitting, or kids or movies. Instead of focusing on one narrow facet (or large facet) of our lives as modern women, we want to embrace all of our interests and ideas. We, as a group, meet and each bring one new or interesting or useful or just plain fun thing/idea/experience to share with the group. You can bring your favorite book, and tell us all about it and why we should read it. But when you leave, you not only will ha …

Calling new girlfriends! Let's get together to play tourist in our own backyard, and hopefully build some lasting friendships. I'm a friendly, liberal, independent, and intelligent woman in my early 30's looking for like-minded friends. We'll start with metro-accessible locations in the DC-area and branch out from there. Looking forward to meeting women in their early 30's to early 40's that live in the Alexandria vicinity. We'll meet every few weeks at a local museum, event, or festival. DC has …

VAMPIRES:  Immortal, alluring, and highly dangerous -- what's not to love? Just about everyone enjoys a good vampire story, as evidenced by our lasting fascination with the undead.  If recent books, movies, and television programs are any indication, the vampire craze continues to run strong without any signs of abating. It's one thing to read or watch a vampire story.  But have you ever thought of BEING in one? House Divided is the Richmond, VA chapter of a global organization of vampire aficio …

Designed for both the Social Butterfly and Cocoons, those looking to make new friends while experiencing some fun and entertaining experiences. We are looking for both singles and couples with a zest for life and a desire to live it to the fullest. We will be wining and dining, taking in a movie or a comedy show, hiking in the mountains and paddling down the river. If you can imagine doing it, then let's give it a try...

This is a group for all ladies who like to get out and have simple fun with other women. We'll go to coffee, take walks, bring our kids/grandkids to the park, go to dinner, have movie night, bowling, mini-golf, shopping, travel, etc. Whatever we want to do, we'll put it on the list! It's just for fun!! I truly believe that women need friend time. We can support other women in a way that other's just cannot do. So let's grab our girlfriends and go have fun!!

We are a friendly group of people who live in the DC-metro area and are all interested in exploring the works of Shakespeare, starting with the plays. Together, we read, see, discuss, and otherwise *explore* Shakespeare (we will maybe even practice the plays, at least in part!). We welcome anyone with an interest in spending time with the Bard. Hope to see you at a meetup sometime very soon!
