Monthly Gatherings
A tradition still upheld many decades later is the social aspect of the Ilion Little Theatre. While the organization continues to produce shows for the general public throughout the year, the organization’s members meet once a month to socialize over a meal at the theatre.
Each gathering is held the third Thursday of the month (unless pre-empted by a scheduled performance), every month, from September through May.
General organization business is conducted during these meetings, but both current members and those interested in joining are invited to attend.
The next monthly gathering of the Ilion Little Theatre will be held Thursday, April 20th at 6:30 p.m with a Potluck style dinner followed by a very brief business meeting. Then…let the games begin! Come on out and join the fun!
Dinner meetings / monthly gatherings are held at the theatre (also referred to as “The Stables”), located at 13 Remington Ave, behind Remington Arms.
Please bring a dish to share. BYOB your favorite beverage.
The date is subject to change.
