Beerside Chats: From Page to Stage or Think to Drink

The Beer Culture Center and A Red Orchid Theatre have come together for a series of conversations around the world premiere production of TURRET, now playing at The Chopin Theatre.

Throughout our 3 week series, we'll engage in a different theme and discussion around the creation of the play, the production, and the intersectionality of beer and community.

Week I is all about going from the page to the stage or having a think and getting to a drink. How do ideas and words transform into final products, on stage and in a glass? This week features a conversation with TURRET Assistant Director Sadieh Rifai, Script Supervisor Hilary Williams, and Off Color Brewing's Ben Ustick, moderated by Beer Culture Center Board Chair, Eric Johnson. Discussion begins promptly at 7:15pm.

$10 ticket fee includes one complimentary beer. Bravo!


TURRET. On stage now through June 9th at The Chopin Theater. Starring Michael Shannon, Travis A. Knight, and Lawrence Grimm. Written and directed by Levi Holloway.

Two men survive in a facility deep underground somewhere in the wild woods of the Pacific Northwest, hiding away from something terrible looming just outside. Ensnared in a relentless loop of endless tomorrows, they discover the wolf isn’t at the door, he’s already inside, waiting in the creeping darkness all around them. Turret is an excavation of masculinity, love, loss and isolation. A claustrophobic carnival of carnage, cribbage, whiskey, music, mischief and mayhem.
