Small Theater Enthusiasts of Los Angeles.

This meetup group is for people who enjoy going to smaller theaters - rather than the larger venues where most seats are so far from the stage that you have to imagine the actors' expressions!

Everyone buys their tickets separately, although the entire group also meets before the play to have a meal together, and often goes for coffee afterwards as well. But no problem if you just want to meet up for the play itself sometimes - that's fine too!

Because of limited time, organizers can only host events they're interested in attending themselves. However we're always happy to hear ideas, so please feel free to email me with suggestions. I'm also very happy to welcome new assistant organizers, provided they are familiar with how the group works. So if you would like to become an assistant organizer - **and have attended at least a couple of events** - please email me via the website.
