MIRIAM’S PLACE

A SEMINAR SERIES HOSTED BY PATRICK DOOLEY

Miriam Schiffman was a life-long learner with an insatiable curiosity and passion for bringing people together. She also loved theater. With the generous support of her beloved husband, Stan, we have dedicated space at our studios to host gatherings for the exploration of live theater and the promotion of fellowship around shared interests and perspectives. There’ll be coffee and tea at every session.

the world of a play

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 Bess Wohl’s Continuity. 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

SHOTGUN PLAYERS – THE PODCAST

The motivation for this podcast is personal. While I’ve loved every minute of my 30+ years as Shotgun’s artistic director, the all-consuming nature of the work hasn’t left much time to get to know other theater makers. The best way to change that was to make meeting other theater makers part of my job! My hope with these interviews is to learn a little bit about what motivates and inspires, and to shine a light on their current or upcoming projects. – PATRICK DOOLEY, Artist Director
