EnTrance Theatre Talk

Whether you are new to theatre, a veteran theatre goer or somewhere in between, we welcome you at EnTrance - where we pull back the curtain and go behind the scenes to shine a spotlight on the work, the craft, and the transformative nature of theatre. Through interviews with the people on stage, the many more behind the scenes, and those of us in the audience, we are exploring the power of theatre as a vehicle for connection, joy, magic, and opening the door to what’s possible.
