Beerside Chats III: Creating the World Through Design

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 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. Beer Culture Center is driven in the belief that beer is more than just a beverage. It is a dynamic cultural force with the ability to bring people together and the power to make change.

Week III is all about design and technology. How do we translate the creativity behind words, ideas, and product into a visual representation that best reflects all of those things? This week features a conversation with TURRET Projections Designer Paul Deziel and Beer Culture Center Advisory Board Member and Half Acre Beer Company Co-Founder, Gabriel Magliaro. 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.
