What is Armoire Theater
I AM RAMBLING AGAIN SO PLEASE FORGIVE ME IF I AM LIKE A DRUNK PERSON WALKING DOWN THE STREET!
I JUST HAD A LOT ON MY MIND AND I NEEDED TO GET IT OUT SOMEHOW. I KNOW I DON'T HAVE ANY FOLLOWERS
BUT I HOPE PEOPLE ARE READING THIS.
A lot of people who are aware of me starting this movie club don't know why I started it. Well, here is why I decided this was something that had to be done. Read More…
This is a little of what my new friend Yolanda has been working on along with other people and it lloks like its going to be great.

I am writing to let you know that I may have some good news!! I just got off the phone with someone at the Unitarian Church and even though it isn't definite yet they may be willing to offer us a place to show movies dealing with GLBT issues once a week for free starting next year.
We thought this would be a great opportunity to offer the gay community and those supporting the gay community a chance to watch movies that represent the GLBT community.
When do you have free time on the weekends? I am thinking of asking for their permission to show these films on Saturday afternoons from around 3pm-7pm. This way people can bring refreshments and a notepad and pen. We can have a mixer before the movie and discussion afterwards. Yolanda
This is the E-Mail I recieved on Sunday Jan 10, 2010
Great news!!! Armoire theater is a go!!!!
Saturday February 13, 2010 from 3pm-7pm.
We will be showing our first movie, "A Touch of Pink!"
It is about a gay Muslim man living in London who was born in Kenya but raised in Toronto. He has a lover and is a successful set photographer. His life seems to be going hunky dory until his mother decides to visit after the news of his cousin's upcoming marriage. That is when the fun begins on so many levels.
Please tell all your friends and let them know that it is taking place at the Unitarian Church next to the Lone Star Bank on Paredes Line across the street from Oyster Bar. Also, tell them to bring notebooks and a pen because we are going to have a discussion afterwards and if they see something they want to talk about or something they want to bring up, they can.
From 3-4pm, it is a meet and greet. People get to know each other and socialize and it gives people a chance to get situated before the movie begins. The movie, depending on the length, will be shown from 4-6pm. Then we have an hour to discuss the movie and what we thought of it. I will have a few notebooks out so that people can put down their contact information and also for their movie suggestions. I was sorta hoping most of them would be romantic comedies, independent films, something that people do not see every day.
There will be refreshments(chips, sodas, bottled water, cookies, etc). If people offer to bring something for the next event like soft drinks, or if they want to bring a cake or something more substantial, they are more than welcome to do so.
The church has an offering box where if people want to donate some money to the church for providing the place free of charge, that is perfectly fine. Grady will be there to take the funds as he works directly with the church.
The purpose of this is to provide GLBT community with a safe place to gather outside the bar. My friend, Maribel, put it best when she said she was wanting to grow the GLBT community outside the bar in a healthier environment, which is sorta what I gathered from what you said to me previously.
There will be no Unitarian proselytising so no one has to worry about being converted or brainwashed about how bad homosexuality is. This is a very open minded church and the people are awesome. They are so open-minded some of the people on the church board are interested in getting a PFLAG chapter started in the area. So that might be something you or your friends might be interested in.
Please let your friends know and please show up if you can. I know your schedule is quite a mixed bag so I totally understand if you can't make it. Yolanda
Thanks for everything
