Do you like live theater? Do you like to talk about it afterwards? In this Coronavirus environment all the theaters are closed, but are you willing to make the most of what’s available? Then join our popular Theatre Conversations course! We will watch professionally produced and recorded plays at home and discuss them in Zoom conversations. We’ll select the plays from several sources as they announce their offerings. We will, of course, remain alert to opportunities for live theater as the area venues reopen. We will also invite a few local theater personalities to address our class.

Format: We’ll focus on one play each week. Participants are expected to present material or lead short, lively class discussions on a play, including production aspects, themes, the playwright’s background and intent as well as the director’s interpretation. On several weeks we will replace play discussion with visitor dialog. This is a Zoom video conferencing class.

Resources/Expenses: We anticipate using free sources but there may be some occasional site fees. We expect these to total less than $25. If live theater becomes available, we’ll discuss ticket prices then.
