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 POTUS, Or Behind Every Great Dumbass are Seven Women Trying To Keep Him Alive by Selina Fillinger and Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson Apt. 2B by Kate Hamill at Trinity Repertory Company; The Effect by Lucy Prebble and Peter Shaffer’s Amadeus at the Gamm; What the Constitution Means to Me by Heidi Schreck at the Wilbury Theatre Group; a play at the Burbage Theatre Company and at the Brown/Trinity MFA Program to be announced later.

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 about $175 for most dates, including special group rates.

Coordinators: Kathy and Mike Webster are active supporters of our local theater companies and have coordinated this course for many years.
