Script Club
every second Wednesday of the month @ 7-8:30 pm CT
In October of 2020, craving conversations about plays but burnt out from Zoom readings, Red Theater began hosting our monthly Script Club. Open to all lovers of theatrical literature, we meet (digitally these days) to discuss a play we've collectively read beforehand, curated by our Literary Manager Giulianna Marchese. The conversation is casual, covering topics including theme, production elements, and opinion. The plays vary from new scripts by active playwrights to stand-outs in the ever-expanding “canon.” On occasion, the playwright is able to join us for the conversation. It’s a great time.
