Cult Movie Club

September's movie cannot be named due to copyright however here is a description to give you a hint When the town of Blaine, Missouri approaches its sesquicentennial, there's only one way to celebrate: with a musical revue called "Red, White and Blaine." Hoping the show will be his ticket back to Broadway, impresario Corky St. Clair (Christopher Guest) rounds up a cast of enthusiastic but untalented locals (Eugene Levy, Fred Willard, Catherine O'Hara) to perform his masterwork. But, when Corky reveals that theater agent Mort Guffman will attend the opening, things really kick into high gear. Written by: Christopher Guest and Eugene Levy Directed by: Christopher Guest M 1996 CC Runtime: 1h 24m

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 :) [https://www.facebook.com/Theatre-Games-in-the-Park-Sydney-487255451682498/](https://www.facebook.com/Theatre-Games-in-the-Park-Sydney-487255451682498/) [https://www.instagram.com/theatregamesintheparksydney](https://www.instagram.com/theatregamesintheparksydney?fbclid=IwAR2fMlbCnv1PVQXX0xO7d6d_4mMDsXtT3dcs1awToamKK-ag1AAQhVYyPLQ) **FAQ** **Location & Parking** [https://maps.app.goo.gl/Yed3pMB9eC1oeAXA7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/Yed3pMB9eC1oeAXA7) Between Church St and Sorrell St. Near the river. Down the stairs from the Riverside Theatre and to the east along the path. If you have trouble finding us, please post in the event comments as we'll keep an eye on this. Parking is free and usually ample in northern Parramatta, in Sorrell Street and surrounding streets to the north of the river. **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 [https://youtu.be/VO7EXv-dVYA](https://youtu.be/VO7EXv-dVYA) 2\. The importance of not saying "no" to everything in a scene: [https://youtu.be/GjptDwG96e8](https://youtu.be/GjptDwG96e8) **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! **Keeping up with the latest news and related fun events** Go to our Facebook Discussion Group. This is a fun way to share improv/comedy clips, discuss improv and generally chat with the cool members of our group! [https://www.facebook.com/groups/2112357978921450](https://www.facebook.com/groups/2112357978921450) **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 post any questions in the comments area below rather than directly messaging us, so that others can see the answer too. This will allow us to spend less time answering messages, and more time making the games as fun as possible!

CAPTAIN CORELLI'S MANDOLIN

CAPTAIN CORELLI'S MANDOLIN Written By: Rone Munro (adapted from the original Louis de Bernières novel). Directed By: Roger Gimblett & Rose Frasca On a sun-drenched Greek island during World War II, the lives of villagers are forever altered by the arrival of occupying forces — and the unlikely romance that blossoms between a spirited local woman and an Italian officer. Sweeping, lyrical, and achingly beautiful, this adaptation of de Bernières’ beloved novel is a moving celebration of music, memory, and the resilience of love in the face of war. Bring a handkerchief. Please purchase your own tickets via the link below & ONLY THEN RSVP ATTEND. We have seats in rows D & E https://genesiantheatre.com.au/events/captain-corellis-mandolin/ The show starts at 7.30 pm so I will meet you about half an hour before.

For 90 minutes, you'll take part in our hosted, themed conversation rounds. You'll move between different people and different conversations, giving you plenty of opportunities to meet and connect with people you might not otherwise have spoken to. 7:30 PM – 8:00 PM – Continue socialising with your host At 7:30 PM, ABBA's Back LIVE begins, but our host remains with the group for another 30 minutes.

You are very welcome to stay until 9:00 PM. Enjoy ABBA's Back LIVE, dance, grab a drink and continue chatting with the new friends you've made. The final hour is unhosted, so you can enjoy the party at your own pace. 🌟 First Time? Perfect! Many people come on their own, and lots of attendees are joining Fast Friends for the first time. You don't need to know anyone beforehand. Our host will guide the conversation rounds and help make introductions, creating a relaxed environment where meeting people feels natural rather than forced. Members from our other 7 Sydney Meetup communities also attend many of our events, helping create a larger and more diverse social group. For over 10 years, Fast Friends has been bringing people together through hosted social events in 30+ cities worldwide, helping thousands of people build genuine friendships. Come for Fast Friends.
