Talk Backs

Join us for a chance to meet the cast and talk with the production teams for each show. This is a great opportunity to ask anything that you've always wanted to know about putting up a show, whether its just to see how actors memorize, or how the sets and lights are accomplished. 

Talk Backs are held after every 2nd Saturday Matinee performances in the Grand Theatre.

Dates:
School House Rock, Live!  - Saturday, October 24th at 4:00 pm
Having our Say - Saturday, February 26th at 4:00 pm

The Grand Theatre at 1575 South State Street will be hosting a free lecture by Dr. Richard V. Greene on Monday, March 8, 2010 at 6:00pm. The lecture, “Chicken Soup for the Soulless: Three Philosophical Lessons from the World of The Undead” will cover the topics including the badness of death, our fear of death as it relates to our interest in the undead, and moral issues related to the undead. After the lecture all audience members are invited to see a free dress rehearsal of the production Eurydice, by Sarah Ruhl which begins at 8:00pm.

Dr. Richard Greene is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Weber State University. He received his Ph.D in Philosophy from the University of California, Santa Barbara.
