Theater Conversations
Class | Registration opens 1/27/2025 9:00 AM
Note: Our first play, Between Riverside and Crazy (Gamm), closes March 9, so please see it before then.
Join our popular Theater Conversations course as we attend a wide variety of plays, discuss them, learn from each other, and enjoy visitors from some of the productions! We will feature La Tempestad at Trinity Rep, Hamlet and Between Riverside and Crazy at the Gamm Theatre, Fat Ham at the Wilbury Theater Group, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time and Legend of Georgia McBride at the Burbage Theatre Company, and a combination of two Greek plays at Brown/Trinity MFA.
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.
Expenses: Total expenses of about $130 for most dates, including special Trinity group rate.
