Play Reading For Play Lovers:
American Theatre – The Last 100 Years
Do you love language and theatre? Have you ever found it challenging to read rather than see a play? Do you love reading plays but wish it were a more social activity?
Join Artistic Director Marti Lyons and your classmates in an intimate and animated “book club” conversation discussing the writing, contexts, techniques, and theatrical ideas of 10 plays and their playwrights over the second half of our season. Discover the joys of studying plays and theatrical writing in all sorts of new ways!
Play selections can be found below!
Take the full session for $200, or drop in to any session for only $49!

TIME: 2 hours, 6:00-8:00pm
