Each year Stages Repertory Theatre chooses a production from its
MainStage season and surrounds it with activities designed to create a larger context for a particular play or theatre artist’s work.

This year’s Surround focuses on The Mineola Twins by
Paula Vogel, the world premiere of Late: A Cowboy
Song by Sarah Ruhl, and the work of women playwrights.

Please join us for the events; all are ree and open to the public.
