Audience Enrichment


Seminars

Get a behind-the-scenes look by attending a FREE SCR Seminar! Audiences gather for insightful discussion about each SCR production, as seen through the eyes of the artists. Led by a member of the literary department, the seminars feature engaging dialogue with playwrights, directors, designers and other artists, followed by an open Q&A session. Join us for this inside look at the latest SCR production. Seminars run from 7 to 8 p.m. on the dates below. 

Learn more about SCR's Seminars in this short video.

Theatre doors will open at 6:45 p.m. on the night of the seminar. Seats will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Inside the Season

Join us for interactive Saturday morning seminars that reveal the secrets and offer fascinating insights into our nine season productions. Conducted by members of the literary staff, these lively two-hour sessions feature in-depth interviews with cast members and artisans from SCR's production staff. Discover how the industry's most accomplished theatre professionals breathe life into plays on the Segerstrom and Julianne Argyros Stages. Audience questions and comments are encouraged, and participants are invited onstage to explore the set.

Sessions of "Inside the Season" take place 10:30am-12:30pm, usually preceding the second Saturday matinee of each production. Tickets are $12 per session and can be purchased in advance as well as at the door.

2012-13 Season Dates:

  • The Fantasticks
    Saturday, June 8, 2013, Segerstrom Stage

    From the production team, our guest will be Tony-nominated sound designer Cricket Myers—also a frequent sound designer at SCR, having recently designed The Parisian Woman. What does a sound designer for a musical do? How is it different from designing a play? She’ll answer this and much more.
     
    From the cast, we’ll be joined by Perry Ojeda, who plays the mysterious and magical El Gallo. Perry is making his SCR debut after appearing on Broadway, off-Broadway, in London’s West End and at regional theatres around the country. Join us as he talks about tackling singing, dancing, magic and more in The Fantasticks.


Post-Show Discussions

Following designated performances of Segerstrom and Argyros productions, a literary staff member (in most cases, the production dramaturg) moderates the informal question-and-answer sessions with actors from the cast. This unique opportunity to access firsthand information about the production from the actor's perspective—and to give them your immediate feedback—is guaranteed to enhance the theatre-going experience. Post-Show Discussions begin approximately five minutes after the end of the performance and typically last 20-30 minutes.
