Engage. Educate. Entertain

The Grove Guild was born from a desire to form a community where theatre patrons and like-minded persons can come together to educate themselves about live theatre in a social, club-like atmosphere. The Grove Guild strives to engage, educate and entertain its members 12 months of the year, while connecting with The Grove Theatre during its off-season.

The goal of The Grove Guild is to raise understanding of the theatre production process from the ground up. Live theatre becomes more exciting and fulfilling when one has astrong relationship with this dynamic art form. Live theatre is to be enjoyed in the moment; The Guild is built on the belief that with deep insight of behind-the-scenes and on-stage dynamics, the experience for the theatre patron becomes richer and each performance more fulfilling. Personal enrichment and theatre appreciation are the result.

Membership: Affordable membership is open to any member of our community who would like to gather on the last Tuesday of each month, in a conversation-style forum. Grove Guild Events support our collective learning. The four Membership Tiers are outlined below.

Purpose: To provide Grove Guild members opportunities to connect, socialize, share, and learn through monthly get-togethers with a variety of qualified guests from the theatre industry.

Structure: We gather at 4:15pm on the last Tuesday of each month to mingle with new friends, enjoy refreshments and nibbles. At 4:30pm we begin our interview-style “Conversation” with a professional guest from the theatre industry. Gatherings are casual and relaxed. Members are welcome to linger after an approximately 1-hour talk for more socialtime.

Volunteers: Your input, feedback and time are welcome!
