Be the Star of the Show! Your Private Theatre Rehearsal Experience

Ever wondered what it feels like to step into the rehearsal room with an award-winning director and professional actors? Here’s your chance to experience the magic of theatre from the inside!

Gather 6-10 friends for an unforgettable evening led by Artistic Director Marti Lyons and three Core Ensemble Members from Remy Bumppo Theatre Company. You’ll warm up just like the pros with improv exercises and classic theatre games, then dive into a script reading together, just like the first rehearsal of a play.

You’ll collaborate with Marti to choose your play and shape the experience. Possible scripts include witty and beloved favorites like The Importance of Being Earnest, ‘ART‘, or Passage, all full of sparkling dialogue and great roles to play.

Host the rehearsal in your home for a cozy theatrical salon or take the stage in Remy Bumppo’s rehearsal room for the full behind-the-scenes vibe. To make the evening even more delicious, this package also includes a $200 gift card to Whole Foods so you can stock up on snacks, drinks, and rehearsal-room treats.
