Hi everyone!
As far as cultural outings are concerned, my wife and I love performing arts. We are especially keen to attend some good shows in English, which I understand is quite rare around here despite the sizeable expat/Anglophone community. Can you recommend a place to see plays in English? We love classics (U.S. or British, and beyond!) and more contemporary playwrights, too, so long as it's not too absurd.
Cheers,
Eric

Hello Eric!

You may additionally attend or participate in play readings in English every two weeks or so. Check out http://www.geds.ch/playreadings/all for more details. There's a little bit of everything in the mix, including original plays by GEDS members.
There is also improv theater, if you like that kind of entertainment. In Geneva, the Renegade Saints and Ziz Zag Improv come to mind. You will find them here and on Facebook.
Don't forget to click on the "Things To Do" tab (above) now and then, for annoucements and specific show dates!

Great! Thank you, Cecile! We will buy tickets to the show tonight. It sounds like something we will enjoy tremendously... Break a leg next week!

Hi Eric!
Great to meet a fellow theater lover. I'll be seeing you at the GEDS show as I'll be selling programmes!
If you'd like regular updates about GEDS events, you can join the GEDS Glocals group: http://www.glocals.com/groups/geneva/geneva-english-drama-society.htm
Or our homepage: www.geds.ch
We post all of our playreadings and plays, as well as ways to get involved behind the scenes like auditions and mailing parties.
After Rabbit Hole, your next chance for some English-language drama (with GEDS) is our next playreading, March 8, which will be Les Liaisons Dangereuses (in English).
We would also love to partner with Glocals/Buyclub to offer some discounted tickets to Glocals members for future shows! (In case any admins are listening... :) )
