Autumn Garden

Join us for a workshop production of Autumn Garden by Lillian Hellman. First produced in 1951, the play is Hellman's most mature and emotionally honest play, with a rich cast of imperfect yet noble characters struggling to find comfort amidst the simple tragedy of being human. In this introspective and rarely produced play, old friends gather in a summer home to rediscover connections, rekindle lost relationships and find peace, only to find they can't escape from the choices of their past.
Making theatre is often a challenging process and acting calls for an unusual degree of human vulnerability and brokenness, because plays are often about vulnerable and broken human beings. In this workshop production, advanced actors will work on rehearsal techniques using minimal set pieces, props and rehearsal costumes. We invite you to come and watch theatre at its very core -- the actor and the text.
