A Tale of Two Shows: Secrets from the Greenroom
April 29, 2022 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Take a peek behind the curtain and explore how Irish theatre is defined, and what makes it dynamic and unique. Discover why theatre is so often at the forefront of politics, and why producing theatre is still important. Join us as we reveal what the process of creating a show really looks like.
This lively presentation focuses on two very different shows that Out of the Mist Celtic Theatre is currently producing, The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde and We Are the Sea by Laura Lundgren Smith. How does each of these shows explore the nature of Irish identity and politics? How can two shows, written more than a century apart, both speak to the Irish experience today? How can we use the magic of theatre to bring these stories to vivid and entertaining life?
Join us for an online conversation with the director, Michelle Schwantes, and cast members as we share why we believe these two plays are important in today’s turbulent times.
