Meeting Schedule for The Sons of the Desert NYC
Date: Friday, September 20, 2024
Time: 7:30 to 10:30
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.
Our September Film Lineup
Summer is just about over and it’s time for another fun meeting with your friends from The Sons. September’s Stan & Ollie film program includes ”Scram,” Their First Mistake,” “County Hospital,” “Midnight Patrol,” and “The Live Ghost.” As an extra added attraction, we will also be running a Leon Errol comedy, “One Too Many,” from member John Giriat’s collection.
Since it IS a longer than normal shorts program, we’ll be starting the films earlier than we usually do, so please be there in time for them.
If you want to bring a guest to our upcoming meeting, it's a one-time-only guest fee of $5, and then they will be given a membership form to join our tent! If they join us, we will deduct that $5 guest fee.
