Link rcvd upon registration ADULT PLAY READING MEET UP
Ages 18+ Much like our Teen Play Reading Group - this Play Reading Meetup is for ADULTS (18 +) looking to engage with each other while reading a play out loud. Since we have been unable to experience theatrical art forms in person, one way to connect is to enjoy the stories, scenes, and characters of the stage as in the written word of the playwright. Play reading gives you a front-row seat to the real and complex political, cultural, and personal dramas throughout most of history. You will be transformed by read-speaking the words of characters familiar or new. So tear yourself away from binge night and join us!! You will get to be an active participant in the words & drama of a play. No experience necessary. It's Free ~ Sign up below for one or for all! Play will be sent to your registration email before the class. DATES AS LISTED BELOW: Thursday, February 18 - A Raisin in The Sun by Lorraine Hansberry (led by Melissa Williams) THIS PLAY READING IS FULL Thursday, March 18 - A Dream Play by August Strindberg (1902), trans.
