Play Reading Book Club: In Old Age

Registration to the program is FREE and includes complimentary access to a special behind-the-scenes viewing of the show before it opens. Tickets for the run of the show can be purchased separately here.

Enhance your experience!

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’ll read In Old Age 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.
