About this Event
Forge Theater Labs is proud to announce “Play Dates, II” by Dr. Janna Segal. Presented in partnership with Out There Theater Company, this next installment of the live theatrical "dating game" will take place on Monday, September 21, 2026, at 7:00 PM at Argenta Brewing. This time, directors and dramaturgs take center stage as they search for their ideal creative collaborators. Host Joshua N Hsu and Guest Host Sarah Kennedy will serve as matchmakers, guiding participants through a playful evening of questions, creative chemistry, and connections.
Will these theater artists find their perfect match? Audiences can anticipate an entertaining, one-night-only celebration of collaboration and theatrical possibility, featuring sound design by Cory Macgowan.
