 |
GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — Great Barrington Public Theater (GBPT) invites theater lovers and artists to take part in the company's conversation with Neil Pepe on Monday, Feb. 26 at 6 pm at St Jams Place.
"It will be fun to swap ideas with Jim and the Berkshire theater community," Pepe adds. "Atlantic Theater Company has been built by artists exchanging ideas and diving into conversation about what makes a script, a scene, an actor or play stand out, what makes art, language and technique effective. Dialogue is the nuts and bolts of great theater. Anyone who loves the creativity of theater will get something from our shoptalk," Pepe said.
GBPT Artistic Director Jim Frangione's will have an off-the-cuff, sit-down with the actor, director, producer and longtime Artistic Director of New York City's Atlantic Theater Company. Their conversation will delve into the founding philosophy, creation and history of the Atlantic Theater Company and get Pepe's sense of happenings and trends in American theater today.
This is a free live event, with a $10 suggested donation, but space is limited. Reservations can be made now by emailing Tristan.
"Our Conversation With series invites Berkshire audiences to join in illuminating and fun discussions on how to create extraordinary theater, from the good idea to a fantastic play. A few weeks ago, we had a terrific evening with Jeff Zinn, and this chat with Neil will be chock-full of backstories, inside know-how, and you can bet on unexpected surprises," Frangione said.
