S&S August Virtual Salon: The Yellow Wallpaper

WITH HOST TYLER MEIER AND GUESTS
MARIA CELIS AND CLAIRE MARIE MANNLE

August 20th, 2020 @ 5:30 pm

SPECIAL PERFORMANCE & TALK

The Scoundrel & Scamp Theatre, like many performing arts organizations has been forced to shutter our theater during the pandemic, but is now creating exciting new online programming for audiences to enjoy from home.

Our newest project is a series of virtual salons in which we’ll collectively watch or listen to stories, listen to artists talk about their work, and discuss the myriad topics that emerge. 

The salon will feature The Yellow Wallpaper, a reading of Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s 1892 short story with which Scoundrel & Scamp launched their inaugural season in October 2017. The story follows the slow, chilling unraveling of a woman suffering both from a so-called “hysterical tendency” -- and from its prescribed cure. It calls audience attention to gender dynamics and mental health, as well as the dangers of confinement: something we may recognize all too well in the present moment. 

Claire Marie Mannle is our reader, and is joined by scholar Maria Celis to enrich our understanding of the world of The Yellow Wallpaper. The event is hosted by Tyler Meier.

The event will run a little more than an hour.
Best enjoyed by Scoundrels ages 12+.  

This show is free for The Scoundrel Society! More Information here.
