  We are thrilled to announce the expansion of our post-show discussions. Throughout the season we will be offering post-show discussions every Wednesday night following the performance in our Tudor Court space.

  Join us every other Wednesday night for post-show discussions in the Book Store.

  Post-show discussions provide a forum for audience members to ask questions of the artists in the production and gain new insight into the work.

  Post-show discussion dates for the 2010-2011 Season (all are Wednesday evenings following the performance):

  She Loves Me: 9/29, 10/6, 10/13, 10/20, 10/27, 11/3, 11/10, 11/17

  Once again we will be offering "What to Know Before the Show" mini-lectures during our spring 2011 production of Heartbreak House. Join us 30 minutes before the show on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday evening to learn more about playwright George Bernard Shaw as he explores the shifting classes in England during the First World War with wit, romance, comedy and heartbreak.

   

• Family Day Date: 09/19/2010
  Time: 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
  

  Join us Sunday, September 19, 2010 at 2pm for Family Day at Writers' Theatre.

  While you and your children age 12 and up enjoy a performance of She Loves Me, younger family members (age 7-11) can join Writers' Theatre Teaching Artists for a special theatre class to explore this exciting musical. Just like Georg and Amalia in She Loves Me, children will write letters, dramatize what they have written, and perform with each other while you enjoy the musical.

  A $5 registration fee will be collected for each student attending the class.

  Call the Writers' Theatre Box Office at 847-242-6000 to make your reservation!
