Join the Denver Center for the Performing Arts and Third Rail Projects, hailed as one of the foremost companies creating site-specific, immersive, and experiential dance-theatre in the US, for a panel discussion on creating devised work. Third Rail Projects’ current productions include Then She Fell and The Grand Paradise. The DCPA is the first regional theatre in the country to commission Third Rail Projects, and together the companies are creating a new immersive piece which will premiere in Denver later this year.  

 

Dialogue on Dialogue Roundtable
Thursday 18 February at 6 p.m. PST (Los Angeles) / 7 p.m. MST (Denver) / 8 p.m. CST (Chicago) / 9 p.m. EST (New York). 

Join playwright Matthew Lopez and some of our acclaimed commissioned writers for a roundtable discussion about their writing processes, favorite first scenes, and more. After live scene readings, playwrights will give a glimpse inside the inspiration, frustration, and “ah-ha!” moments of writing a script. Playwrights include: Pulitzer Prize winner Robert Schenkkan (All the Way, The 12, The Kentucky Cycle); Anne Garcia-Romero (Santa ConcepciónPaloma); and Susan Smith Blackburn nominee Lauren Yee (Samsara, in a word, The Hatmaker’s Wife).
