Play Theatre Games in the Park!

Hello improveers!

Join us in the beautiful Botanic Gardens to play Theatre Games with friendly and awesome people! We play a different slate of games each time, to keep things fresh and vibrant. Afterwards, we go for drinks to a nearby pub.

Everyone is welcome, no matter your level of Improv expertise!

Most of the time our turn out has a majority of beginners which means you will be playing with people who are pretty much at the same level as you are.

For an example of the type of fun that can go on in our days see: 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 :)

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!

How can I find the exact Meetup location?
In addition to the instructions in the location box, if you search "Pioneer Garden" on Google maps, you will get a close match to our precise location. Finally, please see the following photo: Location Photo

What if it rains?
The show will go on! There is a gazebo 30 seconds walk from our normal spot, and we simply go under it. There is also a second gazebo a few minutes walk away.

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, 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!
