OCTOBER 26 – NOVEMBER 7: Wilma Theater offering Audio Description of “Minor Character”
From October 25 to November 7, the Wilma Theater will offer audio-described digital presentations of their recent production, “Minor Character.”
“Minor Character” tells the story of Chekhov’s masterpiece Uncle Vanya, but uses six different English translations – including Google Translate’s ridiculous one – to bring it into 2021. The story centers around a few residents and workers in a Russian estate in the early 20th century. Like most Chekhov plays, the characters foolishly (and recognizably) love all of the wrong people. Plus, tensions are high because the estate is running out of money! This is a link to the WilmaBill for more information about the play.
Participants can purchase tickets to experience the digital format here. After their purchase is complete, Wilma Theater will send a link to stream the production anytime from October 25 – November 7.
If any of the participants you work with have questions, they can reach out to the box office at 215-546-7824 or message Wilma Theater here.
