Audience Enrichment



Inside the Season
Join us for interactive Saturday morning seminars that 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 many of the industry's most accomplished theatre professionals breathe life into plays on the Segerstrom and 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.

Post Show Discussion Series
Following designated performances of Segerstrom and Argyros Stage 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 theatregoing experience.  Post-Show Discussions begin approximately five minutes after the end of the performance and typically last 20-30 minutes.
