It is one of our greatest wishes that the work we produce on stage inspires and encourages conversations that continue long after the final curtain call. We hope that our Audience Enrichment programs below get some of those conversations started.
Recommended Reading
Artists Rep is proud to partner with Powell's Books to provide a recommended reading list for our patrons.

Post Show Discussions
Each play produced by Artists Repertory Theatre features several Post Show Discussions with the cast that allow the audience to express their own sentiments and ask questions of the actors. They are immediately following the first three Sunday matinees and the Wednesday matinee. See below for dates.
Page to Stage
Once per play, you’ll have the opportunity to join a member of the artistic staff before the show in the Producers Lounge for an in-depth discussion of all that goes into the production of a play. Taking you from the 'page to the stage', this event will give you an insider look into the process of bringing a script to life for an audience.
Page to stage events take place before the second Wednesday performance. Starts at 6:30pm.
Free.
Panel Discussions
Selected productions feature one post-show Panel Discussion in which a panel of experts will respond to the major themes of the play. We encourage everyone to join the discussions. See below for dates. Check back for details on participants and topics.
