Play Date: Sweat by Lynn Nottage, Hosted by Jess Chayes

A play reading class with online discussions and performances, curated and led by Northern Stage and our family of artists.
In response to the social isolation demanded of all of us during the coronavirus pandemic, we invite you to join Northern Stage for Play Date. Curated by Northern Stage and presented each week by a different artist, Play Date dives deep into some of the greatest plays and playwrights. Participants will read a new play every week and then come together at the end of the week for a conversation via Zoom (an online video-streaming platform). Each session will begin with a talk by the guest speaker about the play, its history, its importance in the canon, and their experience with the play. Scenes will be performed live by favorite Northern Stage artists who will join from their individual locations.
The play titles will be announced two weeks prior to each Play Date so there is ample time to acquire and read them. We hope you will support local bookstores by purchasing the plays through them.
