Beyond the Stage - The Moscows of Nantucket

 Theater J is dedicated to taking its dialogues beyond the stage, offering an array of innovative public discussion forums and outreach programs which explore the theatrical, psychological and social elements of our art. We frequently partner with those of other faiths and communities, stressing the importance of interchange among a great variety of people wishing to take part in frank, humane conversations about conflict and culture. Theater J is proud to be both a top-flight performance company on the cutting-edge of new play development, and a civically-minded organization using theater as a springboard for engaging the community.  All panels are subject to change.  Please check back often for our most current line up.

5x5: Local Playwrights Respond to THE MOSCOWS OF NANTUCKET

 Sunday, June 12 at 4:30 pm: Scenes of Rivalry

Theater J invites local playwrights to respond to the pertinent issues of sibling rivalry, making a life in the arts, and interfaith marriage, as
dramatized by The Moscows of Nantucket. Playwrights are asked to attend a performance, then write a five-minute play inspired by the show.

Five of these plays will be chosen to be read by professional actors following the June 12 matinee of The Moscows of Nantucket.

The deadline for play submission is Friday, May 20, 2011. Plays can be submitted via email to grace@theaterj.org. Call (202) 777-3230 or email for more information.
