PLAYING WITH PLAYS!

Saturdays, 2:30 to 4pm, beginning in May,  FREE!

EXCEPT NOT Saturday, May 10!   INSTEAD on Mother’s Day, Sunday May 11.

– Playing With Plays is a chance to get familiar with theatrical methods while having fun with friends and soon to be friends.

Every session, when players arrive, Director Jeannette Jaquish will look at who is there and pick a scene from her many scripts and assign roles. Then we will read it aloud (run the lines) discuss the character’s personalities and what is going on in their heads and how each character might move and express his/herself.  We will decide how the characters move during the scene and the cues for their entrances and exits.  

We will take breaks to visit the nearby performance space, learn skills with wood tools or sewing, or practice a physical theatrical skill, like a dance step or pratfall,  then resume working with the script, trying to memorize a bit of the play.  End of the play session at 3:50pm, we will perform it for anyone we can drag in to watch.

Parents may leave minors after signing a guardian release waiver.  Family members not participating may sit at tables or on a mat nearby to rest or chat or look at their phones. 

If you sign up for a TekVenture membership, family members not participating in PWP may go make things at TekVenture in the clay shop, or welding or wood shop or any of the many other Worx areas.

 Non-members of TekVenture cannot wander outside the Playing with Plays space without a TekVenture supervisor.
