“We’re All in this Together: The Dialogue Play Festival” is the culminating production of The Manton Avenue Project’s Playmaking program, an afterschool playwriting course held at MAP’s Clubhouse in Olneyville. Eight young playwrights, 5th – 12th graders, each worked with artist mentor to devise a new play that reimagines the audience. For this project, The Manton Avenue Project partnered with Strange Attractor, an innovative physical theatre company based in Providence, Philadelphia and Juneau, Alaska. For this partnership, MAP students and artist mentors will be traveling to New Hampshire for a devising retreat.
Performances will take place at 7pm on Thursday and Friday, and 2pm on Saturday and Sunday, in AS220’s blackbox at 95 Empire Street in downtown Providence. There will be a talkback following the Sunday performance.
