Talk Back
The Penumbra Talk Back is an informal and intimate post show discussion that is designed to close the distance between the audience, artists, and issues presented in the play as well as provide a safe place to express oneself. Participants have the opportunity to explore, question and discuss directly with the experts the methodology, craft, and creative process of the theatrical experience. All Talk Backs are free and open to the public. The Talk Back will be more meaningful if you have seen the play.
