Still Thinking in Virtual: Translating Plays into Film

Friday 5/19, 2023 at 5:00 eastern time
Community Gathering on Zoom - register with the bright red reservation box to receive the Zoom link. These gatherings are a service for the theater community and are offered free for TRU members; we ask that non-members help keep us running by making a donation or joining as a member.
In the room: Iben Cenholt, technical producer of TRUSpeak: Hear Our Voices! 2023. Plus the directors of this year's plays: Miriam Eusebio (Reprieve), Ben Rauch (Ditmas), Jordan Richards (Guellen Kansas), Epiphany Samuels (Socially Distant), Misti Wills (Missus Dobbs, American). Zoom became a survival tactic for theater during shutdown. Now, as we re-enter a world of live performance, TRU continues to explore the possibilities of the hybrid form of play-as-film. Does a play lose anything when it is filmed? And more importantly, what does it gain?
