Ava Roy on Method to the Madness
On Friday, September 13th @ noon Lisa Kiefer will interview We Players founding Artistic Director, Ava Roy on Method to the Madness. They will talk about the innovative theater company’s current performances of MACBETH at Fort Point (under the Golden Gate Bridge!) where participants find themselves in full sensory immersion in the dark stone corridors, narrow passageways, expansive brick case mates, and inner chambers of the fort along with the billowing fog and relentless wind.
