Like Book Club on steroids!
A six week course for actors and audience members alike to examine and analyze a selection of six different plays, a mix of both familiar and new.
Each week we’ll read a different play and discuss plot, characters, conflicts, language, and intent. Participants will have an opportunity to “act out” scenes and analyze the importance of each scene to the play as a whole, and focus on dialogue and discovery.
The six shows we’ll be discussing:
- On Golden Pond (Ernest Thompson comedy/drama)
- Sweeney Todd (Sondheim musical)
- Our Town (Thornton Wilder classic)
- West Side Story/Romeo and Juliet (Bernstein musical/Shakespeare)
- The Mousetrap (Agatha Christie murder mystery)
- Steel Magnolias (Robert Harling comedy)
