The group plays a wide variety of games and arrange social get-togethers including karaoke, bowling, ballroom dancing. They've even hosted a few barbecues. The group is about making friends, and having fun in a low pressure social environments. Membership is free and members have access to a calendar of events with Alexandrians. Many of our events have a dozen or less people but they also host at least one large monthly get-together called the Microconvention.

About the Little Theatre

Founded in 1934, the Little Theatre of Alexandria began as a small play-reading group in Old Town Alexandria. Since 1934, the theatre has produced over 300 shows. Over the years, audience members included a veritable "Who’s Who" of Washington. President Harry S. Truman attended on more than one occasion, and notes say that Lynda Bird Johnson even participated as a serving wench! In June 2001, President George W. Bush made LTA his first Washington-area theatrical outing when he came to see his sister-in-law perform in Neil Simon’s Proposals.

About the Play

"Welcome to Greater Tuna, the third smallest town in Texas, where the Lion's Club is too liberal and Patsy Cline never dies. In this hilarious send up of small town life, two actors create the entire population of Tuna in a 'tour de farce' of quick changes and of comic characterizations. There’s nothing like a serving of 'tuna' to cure those January blues!"

Tickets

Tickets are $18. If the group has 15 in attendance attendees will receive $3 discount. (Yay!) About 10 days before the play the group will firm up attendance and collect money from attendees. Prepayment is required because we'll reserve seats for the group and we'll have tickets waiting at the box office.

Socializing

There is always a social component to our outings with the chance to make new friends and contacts. The group has not yet decided whether it would be more fun to meet for dinner before the play or if it would be more fun to enjoy a few drinks after the play where we could discuss the performance. Please indicate in your RSVP what you would prefer.
