What we’re about
The purpose of this group is to get some social interaction after being in lockdown for so long. It can be hard to find a friend group or meeting new people, especially in this day and age. All are welcome! Our events will range from going out to get dinner or drinks, to trivia nights, bowling, laser tag, camping, hiking, you name it. Really whatever people want to do we can do!

See all- Film: School of Rock at the Capitol TheaterCapitol Theater, Olympia, WA
Sometimes you just need to rock out….
Like Jack Black does in School of Rock.
The Olympia Film Society is screening School of Rock as part of its Kids’ Club matinees—and adults are welcome, too! And, if you do have kids (or parents) you can bring them along, too. Kids 12 and under get in free.
Here's how the folks at Rotten Tomatoes describe the movie:
Overly enthusiastic guitarist Dewey Finn (Jack Black) gets thrown out of his bar band and finds himself in desperate need of work. Posing as a substitute music teacher at an elite private elementary school, he exposes his students to the hard rock gods he idolizes and emulates -- much to the consternation of the uptight principal (Joan Cusack). As he gets his privileged and precocious charges in touch with their inner rock 'n' roll animals, he imagines redemption at a local Battle of the Bands.
So, come along and join the fun on Sunday, May 11 (Mother’s Day!), 1 p.m.. There will be soda, and popcorn and your very own, narrow, squeaky seat (no cup holders provided). While the Olympia Film Society is showing this as
If you don’t know anything about School of Rock (I don’t), just know that the critics at Rotten Tomatoes give it a 92% score at Rotten Tomatoes, You can see the trailer here
If you need other reasons to come out and see it, it is being shown at the Capitol Theater where you can get beer with your popcorn and feel good about supporting the Olympia Film Society.
The movie starts at 1 p.m.., but the box office opens at 12:30 p.m.
Tickets are $12 and cannot be bought online. The Capitol Theater is old style which means you buy your tickets at the box office and there's no assigned seating—although every time I've been there, there are plenty of places to sit.
I plan to arrive around 12:40, linger around outside for a few minutes, and then get my ticket and be seated in the theater with my popcorn and beverage by about 12:50. I generally try to sit in the middle of the theater.
This event is cross-posted with the Olympia Activities Social Group and the Finding Friends After COVID group.
