The Purple Rose has spent the past two decades developing a unique approach to the work we do, and the process we use to create the productions on our stage is constantly evolving. We offer a variety of exciting ways to learn more about what we do and how we do it.
THEATRE CLASSES
A year-round roster of intensive skill-building classes is taught by the working professionals in our company. We believe that all theatre practitioners learn from one another and welcome students of every skill level.
COLLEGE NIGHT
One performance per production includes discounted tickets for college students, pizza before the show and a talkback with the artists following the performance.
READINGS
This series offers an inside glimpse of the process of working on new plays. Zoom readings of scripts in development offer an early look at plays being considered for full production. Lecture topics range from writing workshops to panel discussions with designers and much more.
TOURS & POST-SHOW DISCUSSIONS
Free backstage tours of the theatre provide learning opportunities for groups of all ages. Post-performance Q & A sessions – or talkbacks – are offered after select performances and can also be arranged upon request.
