Stages & Pages with Octopus Books

A book talk series exploring themes from GCTC’s mainstage shows.

Join us on the first Sunday of the show run, where a local expert will present and lead a discussion on a selected book. Octopus Books staff, who have read our 26-27 scripts, have selected an accompanying book based on themes in the show. Whether you read the book in advance or pick up a copy while you are here, we aim to further enhance your experience of the show.

This presentation is free, and takes place before our Pay-What-You-Decide performance. We encourage you to stick around to watch the show.

Note: Books selected for the program further explore themes or subject matter in or inspired by the show. They do not necessarily reflect the plot of the show.

Sessions take place from 12:30-1:30 PM, ahead of our 2 PM Pay-What-You-Decide matinees:
