Our November Script in Hand

Important update! Our November Script in Hand playreading is still on, but we want you to know that the show has changed. Due to artist availability, we are postponing the previously announced Cleo by Lawrence Wright. 

We are excited to announce our replacement show, Theatre People by Paul Slade Smith! Based on Ferenc Molnár's classic Hungarian farce Play at the Castle, Smith's adaptation is a comedy that's in love with theater, about people in love with theater who, in pursuit of a surefire Broadway hit, might have to give reality a rewrite in order to arrive at a happy ending.

We're sure you'll love the comedy Theatre People click below to read more about the show and get your tickets for November 13!
