Quiet, We're Playing Theatre

It's lunch break during tech weekend and the children of the cast and crew take over the empty stage to put on a show of their own. A sharp-witted, family-friendly dissection of the stereotypes and conceits of modern theatre that highlights the gulf between putting on a play and the simple joy of playing.

    An absolutely delightful comedy that captures the pure joy of creating theatre as a child. Lovely!

    Utter perfection and absolutely delightful! As someone who had theatrical pretentions as a child, this is a nostalgia overload! The children's interpretation of what theater is and who in theatre does what and plays whom is brilliantly spot-on! This play is gorgeously observed and laugh out loud hilarious!
