A Noise Within has announced a series of Friday Night Conversations, free with admission on selected dates, that offer audiences the opportunity to continue their journey with each play after the final bow with an informal dialogue in the form of music, dance, lecture or discussion with the director and cast.
Following the Friday, December 9 performance audiences can learn how to Salsa dance with the cast on A Noise Within’s new stage and after the Friday, December 16 performance, cast members and Twelfth Night director Julia Rodriguez-Elliott will engage in discussion with the audience.
In addition, on Friday, December 2, after Desire Under the Elms by Eugene O’Neill, international concert violinist Endre Balogh discusses how his original music for the play serves a role similar to that of a Greek chorus.
A Noise Within is also offering Family Packages, which are specially priced 4- or 5-play experiences for the family that invites youths ages 6-17 to attend a Sunday matinee with an adult or participate in an on-site educational workshop featuring improv games, crafts and storytelling.
