With the expansion of Taproot Theatre complete, the company will now offer smaller shows in their smaller venue, the Isaac Studio Theatre, located in the company’s new Kendall Center. The 120-seat space will kick off 2014 with a season of six shows performed by Taproot Theatre’s Touring Company. The season, which is currently underway, will give Taproot audiences a delightful variety of improv, drama and comedy.
The inaugural season includes:
