Join us at the Botanic Gardens, next to the Cupid Statue, to play Theatre Games with friendly and awesome people!
Afterwards, we go for a drink at a nearby pub.
Everyone is welcome, no matter your level of Improv expertise!
For an example of the type of fun that can go on in our days see: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a23t0evG3xI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a23t0evG3xI)
There is a $3 fee per event, or you can pay a $25 annual membership fee. This covers the costs of running the group. The fee can be paid in person, or by transferring to the following account:
Name: Theatre Games
BSB: 923 100
Acc No: 313632027
Use your name in the reference line so the Treasurer can keep track of your contribution.
If you choose to pay the annual membership fee, it would be a great help to us if you would note your membership start date, and renew your membership when needed. This will avoid us spending time on account-keeping, which means we can instead focus on making the games as fun as possible!
We have Facebook and Instagram pages, on which we post group photos and occasionally other announcements. Feel free to Like:)

Instructional videos for newcomers
For those completely new to the concept of theatre games or improvisation, you might find the following instructional videos helpful to you:
1. The importance of facing the audience in the right way

2. The importance of not saying "no" to everything in a scene:

Why is my status saying "Unpaid" even though I have paid?
This is due to a bad design feature of the Meetup website, please ignore it!

What if it rains?
The bridge has been chosen for this reason!
A large concrete apron exists under the bridge - easily measuring 5 metres deep and at least 10m long. More than enough space to perform in and yet still provide shelter from rain.
Can you help promote my event / group / cult?
Yes.. but within reason! We love to help our members who are doing awesome and creative projects. The problem is that because we get asked to promote things so often, we cannot do so via social media posts. As this would cause our members to be "spammed" and announcements about upcoming events to get buried.
However, there are still two ways we can help to promote your project. Firstly, please feel free to post on our Facebook Discussion group. Secondly, you are also welcome to post in our [Meetup Forum](https://www.meetup.com/Theatre-Games-in-the-Park/discussions/), where your post may be seen by our 1,800+ members.
Lastly, we may be able to help in additional ways if you wish to share an opportunity for our members to perform. In this case we may be able to send a Meetup Message to our members, or to announce it in person at our events.
What if I have other questions?
If possible please…
