Local drama group, Beijing Playhouse are to step up their activities to two meetings per month from August 5. They'll be hosting twice-monthly drama club workshops on the first Tuesday of the month and, during August and September, they'll also meet on the third Tuesday of the month.
Meetings commence at 6.30pm, with workshops beginning at 7.30pm at the China Culture Center, located within the complex of the Beijing Maple Drive-In Cinema Park at 21 Liangmaqiao (朝阳区亮马桥路21号枫花园汽车电影院内湖边红色房子).
They're also starting to plan for their next production, Robin Hood, with auditions on September 21 and 22, so if you're interested get along and introduce yourself to the group on August 5.
Anyone know how I can contact them？I wouldn't mind joining something like this

I was in a similar position to you about this time last year. I had just arrived in Beijing, saw an advert in The Beijinger, and thought it might be fun to try something new. I got in touch with Beijing Playhouse, and ended up being involved in the Christmas show. It was a great experience - so do feel free to get in touch if you might be interested.
