Leer y despotricar (17/05)

Read & Rant es el club de lectura del Proyecto Atenea que explora obras escritas principalmente por mujeres. Leemos uno o dos guiones o materiales auxiliares durante el mes y nos reunimos cada tercer lunes en línea a través de Zoom, para discutir las obras. Aprenda en qué consiste un buen guión, discuta cómo nos afecta y explore cómo se relaciona con el mundo en general. Converse con invitados que aporten una base de conocimientos en profundidad. Esta oferta mensual gratuita a la comunidad pretende concienciar sobre la escasa representación de las historias de mujeres en los escenarios.

As summer approaches with the start of Mayo, so does our newest Read & Rant discussion! This month we will be celebrating the work of award-winning playwright, lyricist, and librettist Jenny Stafford, whose works have been heard on Broadway, regionally, and internationally. Our discussion will focus on her script, Eleanor and Dolly, a story of an ambitious high school senior and her quest to marry her high school sweetheart (despite not having one at the moment). Also joining us to Read & Rant will be Heather Beasley of Boulder Ensemble Theatre Company, who will help facilitate the discussion. We hope to see you there!
