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 a group of house concert enthusiasts in the Bay Area. This group is created as a resource so that house concert hosts can find additional audience, artists can make friends with hosts, and music lovers can discover interesting house concerts in their area. Don't be scared off if a show only has one or two RSVPs, because most of our hosts get most of their audience from their own series regulars who may not RSVP here. Here is how it works: Each event you post will automatically become an o …

Taking two play-writing classes at the Berkeley Rep has given me an appreciation for the group dynamic that seems to go so well with writing plays. Hearing others read my words and being exposed to the ideas others have had has been a rewarding and enriching experience. This group will be a forum for folks to hone their craft, share ideas, and have their works read by sympathetic writers. If you have a finished piece, a work in progress, a concept for a play or are looking for an idea, join us a …

The Writers Cafe, which started in the fall of 2010, has been going strong for over a year and a half now. I am currently hoping to add two members to the group.

Please don't be intimidated by this request. It's not a about judging whether you're "good enough," but rather, we have a great group of writers and I …

I believe that everybody can sing! That's why I've created this voice improvisation meet-up in Berkeley. My approach is inspired by the work of improv legends like David Darling, Bobbie McFerrin and local voice artist David Worm. Using a variety of games, activities and techniques we create one-of-a-kind "music" from next to nothing, using solely the human voice. There are no "wrong" notes and no "bad" voices in The Soundproof Room. The goal is for all participants to enjoy producing their own j …

This has quickly become a little gem of an open mic.  Incredibly talented musicians and wonderful people.  Whether you are a musician looking to play or a lover of music, you will enjoy this meet up.  We look forward to meeting you.

Interested in painting or drawing portraits but too shy to ask random strangers? Tired of drawing your loved ones over and over again? This group is for you. Let's get together and take turns sitting for each other. Just to be clear this is NOT a nude figure drawing session (not that I have anything against nude figure drawing). My interest is in faces specifically. I work in mixed media so it's easy for me to bring low maintenance supplies with me like colored pencils, water colors, pastels. Ho …
