THE PROGRAM for Jenny Schwartz’s God’s Ear
Thursday, May 15 at 6:45pm 

What is THE PROGRAM? An excuse for lovers of complex, extraordinary theater to get together before the show, have some wine, and learn a little about what they’re going to see. It’s also a chance for audience members who might not be familiar with the artist or his/her aesthetic context to get up to speed and have a few signposts for the work.  

It's inclusive, informative and fun. And there’s wine. And clever people talking.

THE PROGRAM
is Helen Shaw, David Cote and Jeffrey Jones—two reviewers and a playwright-cultural critic—who want the widest possible audience to feel welcome at the widest range of dramatically ambitious work. Armed with pre-show discussions and supplementary dramaturgical materials, THE PROGRAM roams from theater to theater, providing context to audiences at selected experimental productions.  In the fine arts, museum-goers feel welcome at even the most abstract, difficult shows: docents, catalogues and wall text reach out to new viewers. But in the theater, we get tossed in front of the avant garde with little preparation. So, in the interest of deepening the conversation between audiences and those pieces pushing formal boundaries, THE PROGRAM offers a casual opportunity for enrichment and investigation and dialogue—and maybe a glass of wine.  To see the article that spurred THE PROGRAM, click here. To join The Program’s mailing list, write them at: contacttheprogram@yahoo.com
