Sideshow reading series
Sideshow Theatre Company inaugurates its House Party Series, consisting of five virtual readings of works by the company s favorite playwrights, with Thin Mints by Ellen Steves. The action unfolds at the Bonfire Girls scouting group s five-day camping retreat during which the girls terrorize and traumatize each other in their efforts to be elected the troop s new leader.
The best digital events I ve been to have all placed a big emphasis on creating community and joy. Just because we re isolated doesn t mean we have to be alone, said artistic director Regina Victor in a prepared statement. She described the series as re-creating the vibe of showing up to someone s house for a kickback to hear a new play.
Sideshow Theatre Company has announced its 2021 Season, featuring an all-virtual line-up of entertainment.
The season kicks-off this month with a one-night-only benefit screening of Sideshow s 2018 hit You For Me For You, written by Mia Chung and directed by Ensemble Member Elly Green. This summer, Sideshow presents a reading of Preston s Choi s new play Drive-In at the End of the World, directed by Associate Artistic Director Justin J. Sacramone and created through The Freshness Initiative, Sideshow s new play development program. Throughout the year audiences can also enjoy the Sideshow House Party Series, five virtual readings by some of the company s favorite playwrights - each followed by an interactive celebration.
