Meeting Schedule for The Sons of the Desert NYC
Date: Friday, June 19, 2026
Time: 7:30pm to 10:30pm
The New York Founding Tent meets monthly at The Church of the Transfiguration, founded in 1848 and home of The Episcopal Actors' Guild since 1923. "The Little Church Around the Corner," as it is commonly known, has welcomed theatrical legends including Edwin Booth, Joseph Jefferson, Basil Rathbone, Tallulah Bankhead, Joan Fontaine, Rex Harrison, and Charlton Heston, so we are in great company!
Meeting Location

One East 29th Street
(Between Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue)

Meeting Guidelines
There is no formal dress code as there was at our former location of The Players, but please dress respectably. We can bring refreshments and snacks, but no alcoholic beverages are permitted on the premises. Also, it is our responsibility to clean up after our meeting and leave the room as we found it.
You can bring your friends as prospective members for the donation of $5 each, and they will be given membership forms to join us. The $5 will be applied to their membership.
Our June Film Lineup
We are coming up on our last meeting before our summer vacation and we have a great lineup of films for you. Our Laurel & Hardy shorts include Come Clean and One Good Turn, and two silents — Leave ‘Em Laughing and the now nearly complete classic Battle of the Century.
As extra added attractions, an always-wonderful Bugs Bunny Warner Bros. cartoon, "Captain Hareblower," with Yosemite Sam. And, from the Hal Roach Studio, the beautiful Thelma Todd and Zasu Pitts in Asleep In the Feet with Anita Garvin.
We'll see you then!
