SUBVERSATION SUNDAYS

the chance to get your two cents in!

     For us at Subversive Theatre, the issues behind each play we present are as important as the play itself.  The whole purpose of our troupe is to raise the debate on the social and political topics that our plays address.
     To help create a forum for such debate, we invite audiences to stick around after each Sunday's performance and join with members of the cast and crew in an open discussion of the issues in the play they've just seen.

     We call this little tradition of ours "Subversations" (subversive + conversations, get it?).  This is our number one way of getting feedback from our audience on the work we do and your chance to get your two cents in.  So we hope YOU will take part!
