Reader’s Theater 2018

We expect have our Summer Readers Theater program again this
summer.

Our Readers Theater productions are quick and easy: No
memorizing lines, very few rehearsals, and just a couple of performances over one weekend. We are looking for people to direct two of the three productions we plan to do this summer. If you have experience directing but haven’t found a play you want to direct, let us know and we can help you find a suitable play.

As in the past, we do not hold auditions for our Readers Theater program. If you want to be considered for a role in one of our Readers Theater productions, let us know.

The Harry and Sam Dialogues

We are set to perform The Harry and Sam Dialogues at Random Howse on October 27 & 28 at 7:00 PM.

The show stars Chris Evans and Jake Perrine. It is directed by Tom Fiscus. The playwright is Karen Ellison.  The play is licensed by Dramatists Play Service, Inc.

The short, often hilarious, dialogues between two friends reveal each man’s character and eventually a secret which drives them apart. What happens thereafter illuminates our understanding of the nature and durability of true friendship.

There is very little foul or graphic language in the play so it would be suitable for all audiences. However, younger kids, i.e., 14 or less may not understand a lot of it.
