NOTE: The first play closes on March 22.

Join our popular Theater Conversations course as we attend a wide variety of plays, discuss them, learn from each other, and enjoy visitors from the productions! We will feature: 

Ghosts (Henrik Ibsen) and The Cripple of Inishmaan (Martin McDonagh) at the Gamm Theatre
Primary Thrust (Eboni Booth) at Trinity Rep,
Clyde’s (Lynn Nottage) and Measure for Measure (William Shakespeare) at the Burbage Theatre Company, and
The Comeuppance (Brandon Jacobs-Jenkins) at the Wilbury Theater Group.

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 $140 for most dates, including special Trinity group rate.
