Play Reading Book Club: Utopian Hotline from April 16 until May 10.
Expand your theater experience through group dialogue and behind-the-scenes access to Utopian Hotline. In our first two sessions, we will read, listen to, and discuss a variety of materials related to the development of this groundbreaking live experience including; text, music, audience-submitted voicemails, and a virtual “video game” experience. In the third week of the play reading book club, members will attend a performance of the show in the planetarium at the Museum of Science, which will include a special post-show talkback with the artists of Theatre Mitu! Finally, we will come back together for one last session in the fourth week to reflect, discuss, and engage with some creative exercises led by our incredible teaching artists.
Whether you’re a drama buff or have never set foot in a theater, the Play Reading Book Club is a whole new way to experience a play you never knew you needed.
Over the course of four weeks, we read the play out loud as a group, and explore it together through discussions and dialogue, facilitated by a trained teaching artist. After reading the script, we’ll see the play together, and have a private reception with artists from the show. Along the way, you’ll learn about the context and background of the production, learn some theatre going hacks, and meet new people.
