While nights out at the theater may be on hold for a while, 1st Stage Theatre is giving local residents and arts enthusiasts alike the chance to get their fix of entertainment through its newly launched series, Community Conversations, kicking off Saturday, May 9.

The virtual series will consist of conversations with 1st Stage staff, including directors, actors and performers, giving theatergoers the chance to hear what it’s really like behind the scenes. 

The very first conversation titled Meet the Staff will introduce all viewers to the artistic and managerial team members, discussing exactly what they do and how they ended up involved in Northern Virginia’s theater scene. Plus, in the coming weeks, other online conversations include Artistic Directors in Conversation on Saturday, May 16 and The Life of a Solo Artist on Saturday, June 6. For an entire schedule of the weekly conversations, taking place at 2 p.m. every Saturday, click here. 

In addition to the weekly series, 1st Stage has been releasing short performances, including at-home monologues and script readings, via its social media platforms, until the global pandemic comes to an end and the stage can reopen. // 1524 Spring Hill Road, Tysons
