Try Out/Rehearse For The Living Sober Musical

Try Out Rehearsals will take place

4/07, 4/14, 4/21, and 4/28
from 1-4pm
The Gratitude Center
1320 7th Avenue
San Francisco, CA 94122
*With the exception of the first hour on Sunday 04/14/19 when we have scheduled a Musical Committee Planning Meeting.


The Planning Meeting as well as the Try Out Rehearsals are open to all members of AA and Al Anon.

Please wear clothes that you can move in comfortably, and be prepared to sing, play theater games, and dance.

The mission of the musical is to have fun, stay sober, and carry the message of AA. The musical, like Living Sober, includes Al Anon participation. Joining the cast is a 4-5 month service commitment. The cast will perform the one-hour show two times at the Living Sober conference over Labor Day weekend (8/31/19-9/01/19).


The show will be cast in the beginning of May based on participation in April, and availability to attend rehearsals and performances. This fellowship is inclusive, so, everyone who wishes to participate, is willing to get on stage with us, and who attends the April Try Out Rehearsals will be included in the cast. Newcomers are especially encouraged to join us.

How We Work

We are volunteers organized into three committees; General Planning, Steering Committee, and an Advisory Board.  Read more about each committee below to see how the Western Roundup Living Sober conference is created each year.

The spiritual principles of the Twelve Traditions, the Twelve Concepts and the Six General Warranties of Alcoholics Anonymous are the over-riding guidelines for Living Sober and assure that our leaders are trusted servants; they do not govern. 

General Planning Commitee

All Living Sober volunteers, Subcommittee Co-Chairs and Subcommittee members  are the decision-making body and act as the group conscience of Living Sober.

We get stuff done! We meet at least monthly during the planning year, and as needed.

You can reach us at  
generalplanning@livingsober.org

Steering Committee

The Steering Committee has the responsibility to oversee daily operations during the planning year, conducts General Planning Committee meetings, assembles the yearly budget for the Conference, and acts as a liaison to all subcommittees.

You can reach us at  
steering@livingsober.org

Advisory Board

The Advisory Board acts as the Board of Directors for all legal purposes. It is responsible for all legal and fiduciary matters, has final approval over the yearly budget of the Living Sober Conference and has specific authority to protect the Purpose and Intent of Western Roundup Living Sober of San Francisco.

You can reach us at  
advisoryboard@livingsober.org
