Live theater is back! Join our popular Theater Conversations course as we celebrate the reopening of local theaters! We will feature one play at the Gamm: A Lie Agreed Upon (a new version of Ibsen’s An Enemy of the People written by Tony Estrella), which we will attend as a group. We will also independently attend one play at the Wilbury: Charlie Thurston’s modern take on the Icarus tale, Lifted. We’ll see two plays at the Burbage: Everybody by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, and another play to be announced. Theaters have not released firm schedules, so this plan is somewhat tentative.

Format: Participants will attend a performance of each play. Participants are expected to present material or lead short, lively class discussions on a play. Actors or other members of the theater companies will join the class on several occasions to enrich our understanding of the plays and the production process.

Resources/Expenses: Ticket prices are $20.00 or less.
