Play Clubs: I and You
Play Club is part book club, part performance experience. This program presents the opportunity to explore a play in depth through guided discussion, performance of scenes by actors, and discussion with director and actors. Participants will gain a new perspective on what makes a play work and how it is brought to life on stage.
Participants will sign up at the library for Play Club and will receive a copy of the play, I and You by Lauren Gunderson, to read prior to Play Club.
