STAGE TO SCREEN: An Online Film & Theater Discussion Group

This is an online movie and play discussion group. While participants usually watch the film before attending the discussion, you are welcome to come if you haven't yet. You are also welcome to come late and leave early, if necessary.

We watch: 1) adaptations of plays for the large and small screen, 2) quality recordings of actual performances, and 3) films and documentaries about life and work in the theater.

We look at every style of theater and film, from all over the world, from the most accessible to the most challenging. Take a look at "past events" on our main page to see some of the things we've looked at in the last five years.

READING THE PLAY IS OPTIONAL, although doing so will increase your appreciation for the film and knowledge of theater history. If you don't read the play, the discussion will begin with a quick synopsis of how the play and film differ.

Fans of theater, film, literature, history—as well as actors, directors, playwrights, screenwriters and filmmakers—will find there’s a lot to learn by looking at the theater to film transformation.
