A unique evening of live theatre, in your own home
Stellar has a new approach to theatre that invites the audience into the creative process. Leading actors from stage and screen will read your chosen play via Zoom, after which they will invite you to join a lively and informal discussion of the performance.
We have curated a selection of excellent new plays specifically tailored to this intimate event.
Your Stellar evening will be an unforgettable experience and one that your private audience will find extraordinary for its unparalleled access to the very heart of live theatre.
