Go Beyond the Stage
Playgroup will give patrons and artists alike an opportunity to learn, interact, and discover the elements that comprise the theatre they love. Three subject matter experts bring you two, one-hour sessions that will occur one week apart online. Admission is FREE, but registration is required.
Moderated by Associate Artistic Director Tom Frey, each Session 1 will be an overview and discussion of a theatrical topic. Session 2 will be a deeper dive which may include actors performing scenes and interacting with the expert and audience questions. All sessions start at 7:30pm.
(Our experts are currently developing content and ideas! Know at this time topics may shift slightly or be subject to change.)
