WITH HOPE
|
We joined theatres across the globe when the Covid-19 pandemic brought a premature end to our second season, but we are still committed to bringing compelling stories to Midwestern audiences. With safety, flexibility, and innovation at the forefront of our planning, we commit to season 3 with hope and a plan!
Including two projects carried over from Season 2, this season features four plays presented for free in our popular Fresh Produce Concert Reading Series, and ends with Atlas of Mud, a fully-staged production, in Spring '21. |
