September Staged Reading: A Pick-Up Reading of Spooky Scripts
Be part our read-along of scripts being considered for our annual Halloween extravaganza! As the Players gear up for this year's Evening of Horror & Suspense, help the directing team (Dorothy Parsons and Logan MacGregor) by performing potential scripts, while sound-effects maestra Marilyn Cavicchia tries out some live foley noises. Roles will be assigned as you arrive. We will enjoy hot cider and treats as we act out the spooky tales. Arrive a little early if you’d like to participate. You’re also welcome to just watch.
At Augustana Lutheran Church, 55th & Woodlawn. FREE.
On March 12, 2021 we lived-streamed our great March 2020 production of She Kills Monsters by Qui Nyguen, directed by Meara MacGregor.
