Doorways
Doorways is Six Points Theater's initiative of ongoing programs such as symposia, community forums, post-show discussions, written communications and work with schoolchildren, all designed to open the door to greater understanding and enjoyment of the plays we present and to deeper insight into the subjects and issues they address. The programs are entertaining and educational and in conjunction with the current play on stage. All programs are free and open to the public.
