Post-Show Talkbacks
Luna Stage holds talkbacks following selected performances of each mainstage production. Each talkback immediately follows the performance. Talkbacks feature members of the creative team of the show, and/or a special guest speaker. These talkbacks are an opportunity for audience members to hear about a playwright’s inspiration for a new play, a director’s vision for a revival, or an expert’s reflection on the subject matter or themes of a particular play. All of our talkbacks allow audience members the opportunity to ask questions, make observations, and interact with the panel.
