Meetups will be scheduled erratically (as often as we have a LARP to run and members who want to play in it). If you think you might be interested in …

After having run a successful meetup group for 2 years in Boston based on the same idea, and having recently moved to Ann Arbor (the Boston of SE Michigan), I have decided to continue the endeavor here.

That being said, with all assurance, the instruction will begin with taking a role in a two person scene. I chose good theatrical literature, and take an excerpt from the play. We work these scenes.
