Pre- and Post-Play Discussions

Pre-Play and Post-Play Discussions

These popular free events give our audiences an opportunity to meet actors, artists and theater staff to discuss the Guthrie productions currently running. Pre-play discussions feature members of the artistic team, such as the director, designers, movement and speech coaches. Post-play discussions involve the actors, giving you the chance to ask questions, find out more and really get the conversation going.
