QUARANTINE TABLE SERIES

A Series of Virtual Readings. The mission continues.

Every Sunday.

In this time of forceful social distance, Saudade Theatre vows to continue its mission of bringing Portuguese and American actors and audiences together. Once a week, we will virtually gather to explore plays that place isolated human beings at the centre of a struggle against an invisible enemy. Every Wednesday, we will announce a new play and its cast. Readings will be held in English and hosted via Zoom Every Sunday, at 4PM EST, 1PM PST, 21H Portugal.
