Talkback with Johnny Price
Johnny Price of the Caleb Group leads talkback sessions immediately following one performance of each production at Centre Stage. This is an opportunity for audience members to discuss the production they've just seen with the cast and director in a casual setting moderated by the man who's made "talkback" a tradition in Greenville's theatrical circles.
