June Staged Reading:
A pick-up reading of a condensed version of The Taming of the Shrew
With "Shakespeare In A Box" from Workman Publishing Company, all are invited to assemble & perform Shakespeare's comedy. Come to read a part or just to watch and be part of the fun.
Directed by Ron Chafetz. At Augustana Lutheran Church, 55th & Woodlawn.
The reading will be followed by homemade goodies and a time for discussion about the experience. You provide the entertainment, so the evening is free.
On March 12, 2021 we lived-streamed our great March 2020 production of She Kills Monsters by Qui Nyguen, directed by Meara MacGregor.
