Join us for Rotate Theatre's winter event, Stage Test: An Evening of Works in Development on Saturday, February 17 at 4:30pm in Studio 4C at the MYArts building (1055 E Mifflin St, Madison, WI)! Enjoy staged readings of new short plays and excerpts from full-length pieces, plus shape the next steps these plays take on their journeys to the stage!
Stage Test is part of Rotate Theatre's 2023/2024 development-focused season and comes off the heels of two adult workshop series, one focused on writing, the other on acting. Both mixed-level workshop series emphasized the importance of underrepresented perspectives, provided opportunities for experienced and beginner artists to learn from each other, and utilized our Rotation Practices which offer accessible activities for exploration and skill-building. Many of the series artists are featured in Stage Test along with frequent Rotate Theatre collaborators, giving audiences a glimpse into the workshops as the writers and actors experiment with brand new pieces. After the performance, share your questions in a post-show talk-back and cast a ballot for the plays you want to see in Rotate Theatre's future programming!
Stage Test runs approximately 95 minutes (including one intermission) and features Brooke Allen, Ashely Bagot, Leah Roth Barsanti, Maria Dahman, Autumn Yael Fearing-Kabler, Erika Kachama-Nkoy, Safina Klepzig, Sarthak Kumar, Aaron Lade, Kathleen Nichols, Richard Paro, Breahan Eve Pautsch, Cyra K. Polizzi, Rini Tarafder, Christina Thuli, and Vanessa Uzcategui. Visit the Collaborator Bios page to learn more about the artists!
