Play Discussion Series -- Read the Play Before You See the Play!
Wednesday, December 28
5:45 - 6:45 pm
PPL Seminar Room
IN PERSON AND VIA ZOOM
If you're a theatre lover, join us for our NEW Play Discussion Series!
Our next meeting will be on December 28 to discuss Faith Healer by Brian Friel. It will be performed at the Gamm January 2 - 29. Look for it in our calendar soon to sign up.
You will have the opportunity to read excerpts and scenes. Participants are encouraged to come to the discussion with suggestions. This series focuses on plays being performed locally, so you can read the play before you see the play, but anyone interested in a play discussion is welcome. We'll meet two weeks before each play opens.
Meeting Schedule
April 12 for The Children by Lucy Kirkwood
All plays are being performed at the The Gamm Theatre in Warwick during their 2022 - 2023 season. Tickets for all four plays are on sale now.
NOTE: Some copies of the play are available to borrow through our catalog.
You may register for our discussion up until the time of the event. We'll meet in our Seminar Room, where there is space for social distancing. There is metered parking near the Library as well as lots and garages on Fountain and Washington Streets.
