Ladies Only
Although I insist the building of the outdoor theater was all about the grandchildren, I loved the idea of Cafemom's annual Chicks & Flicks Night.
So, late into Season Three, I hosted my first Ladies Only Night.
August 2011
(Our bunch is a little long in the tooth
to be considered chicks anymore.)
June 2012
Season Four's Opening Night was a
Retired Teachers Get-together.
A potluck preceded the activities.
Under the Tuscan Sun
Starting 3 or 4 days before Movie Night, I send an email a day to the attendees. The above flyers are examples of the first such emails. Ideas for the flyers were found on (Where else?) BackyardTheater.com
"The seating for 1,000" line was taken directly from cecilb's BYT signature.

 | The situation: One party, two distinctly different age groups (Senior Citizens and the Still-in-Elementary-School Crowd). The assignment: Entertain both. |  |
| STEP 1 Place the buffet table, hors d'oeuvres, champagne, and croissant sandwiches on one side of the room. Add card tables and chairs. |
STEP 2 Place the portable screen, P & J sandwiches, popcorn machine, and mini cupcakes on the other side of the room. Turn off the volume. Add four Mario and Luigi hats just for fun. |
 |  |
|
STEP 3 Two hours into the party, remove the tables, move the screen to the center of the room, rearrange the couches and chairs, and show a movie everyone can enjoy. |  |
 | STEP 4 Don't forget to turn the volume back up and pop more popcorn. |
