Serious Play is an award winning, professional ensemble based for over 25 years in the Connecticut River Valley of Western Massachusetts - associate artists with APE@Hawley - members Network of Ensemble Theaters & New England Presenters
“For SERIOUS PLAY, the studio space is the embracing repository of creative potential—it is not that potential realized. It is a place for our ensemble artists to come together to invest energy and time, to lose their way, and to find their way. It is where creativity begins, and we are scared and fascinated all at once. It is the very core in a creative act. ”
“A play potentially allows us to see ourselves, not just as individuals, but as we are as a society—to see who we are, how we became what we are, how we have what we have, and lost what we lost.”
Principal photography by Ellen Augarten and Robin Doty with additional contributions by Doug Anderson, Robbie Leppzer, Sondra Peron, and Robert Tobey.
