This summer The Stagecrafters will initiate a new and exciting on-stage attraction called Reader’s Theater, to run over the weekend of August 15-16-17, 2008. The scheduled plays are: The Price by Arthur Miller
Fri. Aug 15, @8:00 pm - Directed by David Flagg The Food Chain by Nicky Silver
Sat. Aug 16, @8:00 pm - Directed by Dave Ebersole Taking Sides by Ronald Harwood
Sun, Aug. 17, @2:00 pm - Directed by Yaga Brady Simply put, Reader's Theater is a presentation on stage of a full-length play by actors with scripts in hand, directed as to some basic interpretive movements, and employing only limited props and costume pieces. Also known as “Staged Readings”, these performances are presented FREE OF CHARGE and are a great chance for actors, directors, and audiences to explore a play without the effort and cost of mounting a full production. The Stagecrafters' Readers Theater Festival will also include: - Introduction of the plays and directors for our upcoming regular season.
- The live preview of musical numbers from Side By Side By Sondheim, our season-opening production in September.
- Post-performance discussions of the plays with the directors and actors
AND ... please note this BONUS: Following each performance actors and director will stick around for a (hopefully) lively Q & A "Talk-Back" session about the play with audience members! And again, it's FREE! So set aside the third weekend of August on your schedule and help make our first Reader’s Theater Festival a huge success. |
