Join our popular Theater Conversations course as we attend plays, discuss them, learn from each other, and enjoy visitors from the productions! We will feature Fences at Trinity Rep, Doubt and 12th Night at the Gamm, The Wolf Play at the Wilbury Theatre Group, Collective Rage in Five Betties at the Burbage Theater Company, and Alabaster at the Brown/Trinity MFA program.

Format: Participants will attend a performance of each play. Each class member is expected to present material or lead a short, lively class discussion on aspects of a play, including production features, themes, the playwright’s background and intent as well as the director’s interpretation. 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: Total expenses of $120 for most dates, including a special group rate at Trinity are anticipated.
