THE CAKE
Tue, Mar 21, 2023 1:30 pm • at the Downtown Branch
Portland Public Library
Portland Stage hosts a variety of discussions associated with each production in our Mainstage Season.
Page to Stage
Book Club-style discussion series held at the Rhines Room two weeks before the first preview of our Mainstage Production. Scripts are available at the reference desk at the Downtown Branch of the Portland Public Library, or by contacting Raminta Moore at [email protected].
Artistic Perspective
Hosted by Artistic Director Anita Stewart
These discussions are an opportunity for audience members to delve deeper into the themes and creative questions behind each production through conversation with special guests. A different scholar, visiting artist, playwright, or other experts will join the discussion each time.
Curtain Call
Moderated by a member of the Portland Stage Artistic Staff
Curtain Call Discussion offers a rare opportunity for audience members to talk about the production with the performers, exploring topics that range from the rehearsal process to character development to issues raised by the work.
Other Talkbacks
Discussions held following readings of excepts from new plays, books, and scripts.
