Our First Read Club gets underway!
Last Thursday of the month, starting September 30th.
7:30 pm
Scugog Arts Space
175B Queen St., Port Perry
The First Read Club is an informal “book” club and a great way to get your theatre fix, connect with other theatre folk, and discover new plays as you become one of the company and explore the treasures and challenges that lie within the text of a play.
In a traditional first readthrough, the play is read aloud by the cast, with the full artistic and production teams listening in, and the production process begins! The words come alive, the director shares their vision of the playwright’s intention and the team begins the dialogue of how to fully realize the words they have just shared and take the play to the stage.
In the First Read Club, we welcome actors, audience members, production artists and lovers of the printed word to sit in, take part or just listen as artistic director, Carey Nicholson and company guests explore a new play each month.
Play selection will be determined based on the anticipated attendance each month and advance registration is required at least 24 hours in advance, which includes a minimum $5 donation to cover materials and refreshment costs.
The First Read Club takes place indoors at the Scugog Arts Space and all provincial and regional mandated Covid restrictions and protocols will be in place, including the wearing of masks and required proof of double vaccination. Attendance may be capped to comply with current Covid capacity restrictions.
Sign up now!
