Current Conversations
The Department of Theatre Arts Mainstage Productions and the School of Education at SUNY New Paltz present Current Conversations in Theatre and Education. Join us for pre-show panels and talkbacks featuring SUNY New Paltz faculty and K-12 teachers from the Hudson Valley Writing Project. Panelists will discuss how each play speaks to our current cultural landscape while also considering what lessons it holds for students of all ages.
Upcoming Panels
Panels for the 2021-2022 season will be announced in the early fall.
For more information about the upcoming production season, visit the SUNY New Paltz Theatre Department website.
