Audience talkbacks occur following the second and fourth Friday night performances. Engage with the show's creative team and Renaissance Theaterworks' artistic staff. Each 20 minute talkback will focus on a unique aspect of the production.

Dig into the text at Off Book, RTW's insider pre-show talk. Our artistic team explores the history behind the play and how shows are selected. Off Book precedes the third Friday night performance, beginning at 6:50 PM in the Studio Theatre lobby.

Play Club

The book club for theater lovers! Play Club is an exclusive season subscription package for those who want to experience a play from page to stage. Play Club members receive advance copies of each script to read at home. As a Play Club member, you'll get exclusive invitations to sit in on each production’s first rehearsal: meet the actors, see the director & designer presentations, & listen to the first read-through of the play.

Following the plays' staged performances (dates below) Play Club members gather for wine & cheese and a private chat with the cast & creative team.

"[Sitting] in on the first read-thru and [hearing] from the director, set designer, costume designer, etc., gives a wonderful depth to the whole production! And the skill and involvement of the actors as they read the play aloud for the first time together is amazing!" - Susan Schall, Play Club member

A Play Club subscription is required to participate. For more information or with questions about subscribing, contact [email protected]
