The theme for this book club is "Great Females in Literature" and includes any genre that has great female characters or authors.  Our club meets on the second Wednesday of every month at Aroma Cafe in Studio City.  Join our club if you love reading and discussing great books with friends!

Well I think the group name does most of the describing, but the goal here is for people relatively the same age, to pick great books, meet up once a month and discuss them. I want to create a casual and fun atmosphere so that like-minded people can get together, meet people out of their circles, and have the intellectual stimulation that's void from so many of the encounters I've had with people out here in LA. We'll pick from a range of books, and meet wherever the group decides. Ideally, we'd …

Who says book clubs have to be held at boring old Starbucks? If you'd like to make a commitment to reading more AND you've been dying to try out some of the fabulous bars, restaurants and cute little coffee shops and tea rooms LA has to offer, this is the book club for you! I'm planning on alternating between American classics one month, to modern literature the next to keep a good balance. This book club IS a democracy though, so all suggestions are welcome and will be voted upon!

We do meet at a Church called Mosaic and there is a Pastor (Erwin McManus) who leads the time. This is NOT an attempt t …

In the this meetup, I work on all the basics of acting. These are: cold readings, scene study, improv, and monologues. Scene study is the basis of actor training.
