ORIGINS
Join us in celebrating
the birth of the dreamers, shapers, and movers of the theatre!
Actors Co-op's new online series ORIGINS celebrates the birth of plays and playwrights with monologues from our company members.
Every month, we will highlight two playwrights born within that month, explore their journey to becoming shapers of the theatre, and celebrate their work by performing a monologue from one of their plays.
Subscribe to our mailing list for these performances to be delivered to you for safe viewing at home, via email.
