Join TAPS for a virtual theater experience streaming Feb 18 - 20
This new play centers on a writer, musician, and actor who confronts the Gr8 American Theater. Through ranting, laughing, singing, pleading, evoking history, making fun of, calling out, and deeply loving, our protagonist gives us a play-by-play critique of theatre – its diversity panels, fundraising galas, playbills, white leads, Shakespeare, and more. It is a fierce, joyful, relentless, h8-filled love-fest that generously invites all of us to take a look at the institution we’re so devoted to.
Tickets are FREE and available via RSVP up to 1 hour before performance time.
