Join Rotate Theatre Company for Stage Test 2025: An Evening of Works in Development on Saturday, April 26 at 4:30pm at Art House 360 (401 W. Verona Ave, Verona, WI)! Enjoy an eclectic 75 minute program of staged readings of new short plays and excerpts from full-length pieces, plus help shape the next steps these plays take on their journeys to the stage!
Stage Test 2025 comes off the heels of two adult workshop series, one focused on writing, the other on acting. Both mixed-level workshop series emphasized the importance of underrepresented perspectives, provided opportunities for experienced and beginner artists to learn from each other, and utilized our Rotation Practices which offer accessible activities for exploration and skill-building. Many of the series artists are featured in Stage Test along with other collaborators, giving audiences a glimpse into the workshops as the writers and actors experiment with brand new pieces. After the performance, share your feedback and cast a ballot for the plays you want to see in Rotate Theatre's future programming!
Stage Test 2025 runs approximately 75 minutes (including one intermission) and is followed by a post-show talk-back with the artists. This event is sponsored by Theatre LILA Laboratory, a proud supporter of innovative new theatre works that bring our community together, and is one of the first events to take place at Art House 360, an exciting new arts space in Verona, WI, just south of Madison.
