Community Dish Meetings
Held in monthly rotation with the Get Lit with LIT! events, the Community Dish meetings are great for networking and discussing important issues affecting the OOB-I community.

Indie Theater Week
In the summer of 2009, LIT co-hosted an event called Indie Theater Week, which featured three separate outings: The New York Innovative Theatre Awards’ 5th Anniversary and Nominations Party, the LIT Mixer as part of the undergroundzero festival, and the 1st Annual Indie Theater Softball Classic in Central Park. Great fun was had at all three events.

Free Night of Theater
LIT was a also a Managing Partner for TCG’s Free Night of Theater program this past October, and hosted a reception as part of the New York International Fringe Festival in August. Both of these opportunities allowed us to pinpoint new members for the League, as well as share some of the work we’ve been doing this past year.

LIT FringeCLUB Party
The League hosted a night of Fringe Festival Festivities on August 20, 2009 at FringeCENTRAL. It was a great party, giving Fringe participants a chance to unwind after their shows. The event was sponsored by Tanqueray.
