Play Reading Book Club

MEET A PLAY. HAVE SOME GREAT CONVERSATIONS. LEAVE HUNGRY FOR MORE.

Whether you’re a drama buff or have never set foot in a theater, the Play Reading Book Club is a whole new way to experience a play you never knew you needed.

Over the course of four weeks, we read the play out loud as a group, and explore it together through discussions and dialogue, facilitated by a trained teaching artist. After reading the script, we’ll see the play together, and have a private reception with artists from the show. Along the way, you’ll learn about the context and background of the production, learn some theatre going hacks, and meet new people.

Participants:

  • Do a deep dive into a play via group readings, facilitated discussions, and access to resources that interpret the context.
  • Meet new people and increase social connectedness while having meaningful conversations.
  • Obtain tools and resources to help navigate the process of attending the theater.
  • Go see the play together with a whole new level of understanding and appreciation.
