 The New School for Drama
THIRD ANNUAL “NETWORKS”
Monday, October 26, 2009
Las Chicas Locas
160 West 25th Street
New York, NY 10001

The New School for Drama and The New School Office of Alumni Relations are hosting a Drama Alumni reunion event in New York City.
Join your fellow Drama graduates to reconnect, be introduced to Alumni from other years and divisions, and create networking opportunities here in NYC at this unique event.

In addition to the customary cocktails, mingle and small talk, we’re going HARD-CORE NETWORKING!  After some informal mixing and mingling, a knosh here and there, and shot or two of liquid courage, participants will be divided up into mixed groups of actors, directors, playwrights, film producers, web designers, artistic directors, teachers, ….! Each group member will have an opportunity to meet new collaborators, speak about their projects and work, and perhaps meet a potential collaborator - !?  After three minutes, new groups will form, and the process will repeat, until everyone has had an opportunity to meet and be introduced to a new Drama Alum! There will be an opportunity afterwards to reconnect with your new colleagues and exchange business cards, email and web addresses, comp cards and résumés - as well as more time to finish off the leftover hors d'oeuvres and close the bar!

RSVP by October 21 to alumni@newschool.edu or 212-229-5662 x3784.
