offstage OFFERINGS
In the spirit of meeting the moment, Shotgun Players will continue Thursday and Sunday Post-Show Conversations, giving audiences space to break down the themes of each production. Every night offers a chance to connect with neighbors, friends, and fellow theatre lovers. This is a time for bold art and adventurous spirits to confront the madness around us, and we need one another to share ideas, laugh together, and rediscover the power of theater to build community.
Offstage, Let’s Break It Down will keep offering fresh ways to engage with each Mainstage show. Back for its second season, Miriam’s Place seminars and spotlights explore the creative process behind our plays, with behind-the-curtain insights with industry professionals.
LET’S BREAK IT DOWN
HOSTED BY PATRICK DOOLEY WITH SPECIAL GUESTS
From moderated discussions to curated experiences, our Let’s Break It Down events are designed to offer a deeper dive into the subject matter of each Mainstage show.
THE WORLD OF A PLAY
A SEMINAR SERIES
Get an insider’s perspective on what goes into creating a play from the first read of a script, through design discussions, into the rehearsal rooms, and finally to full production. Shotgun Players’ artistic director Patrick Dooley and other collaborating artists will lead this exploration through the experience of producing Edward Albee’s classic The Goat, or Who is Sylvia? This seminar involves six gatherings on Mondays from 10:30am – 12pm, and four other events, including a read-through with the cast, a rehearsal in our studios, a technical rehearsal, and a preview performance at the theater.
**Limit 20 participants per seminar
