In their final Play-by-Play reading, Pioneer Theatre Company brings the drama and tension of World War II to the stage.
The Play-by-Play series allows audiences to see new work in a more intimate and immediate setting. These are not full productions—actors perform with scripts in hand, typically with minimal staging. This year, the series has included readings of “A Requiem for August Moon” and “i.” “The Ice Front” brings a new opportunity for audiences to experience the story in advance, as it will be produced as part of the season at Plan B Theatre Company next year.
This play, written by Eric Samuelsen, examines the plight of the Norwegian National Theatre during the Nazi occupation.
