The Necessary Stage’s Theatre For Seniors is conducting a script-centred workshop in February.

 

The Necessary Stage’s Theatre For Seniors is conducting a script-centred workshop, mostly conducted in English, which will focus on a script from renowned playwright and director, Kuo Pao Kun. Participants will explore and read “Mama Looking For A Cat”, which focuses on the breakdown in communication and estranged relationship between a Hokkien-speaking mother and her bilingual-speaking children, who can only express their thoughts in English and Mandarin.

Participants will adapt their own individual experiences as inspired from the themes from the play. As a group, they will work towards creating an open rehearsal for the final session on Friday, March 16, 2018. Everyone is welcome to join the workshop regardless of their experience level.

Expect 10 evenings of eye-opening theatre and open conversation! The dates include:
• Wednesday, February 7, 2018
• Wednesday and Friday, February 21 & 23, 2018
• Wednesday and Friday, February 28 & March 2, 2018
• Wednesday and Friday, March 7 & 9, 2018
• Monday, March 12, 2018
