Want to be involved in a staged reading? Not sure how?
Hyde Park Community Players welcomes people at all levels of theater experience -- including none! Is there a short play (or excerpt of a play) that you'd love to share with an audience? Or a poetry collection or other literary work that has some dramatic possibilities? Would you like act, or direct? If so, please contact producer Paul Baker at stagedreadings@hydeparkcommunityplayers.org to learn more about the Staged Reading Series. We currently host a staged reading each month, on the First Friday of the month (occasionally Second Friday to avoid a conflict). In a staged reading, the actors have their scripts with them, so no memorization is required. Support is available for inexperienced or first-time directors as you learn how to work with your cast to bring a short play to life. The Friday reading is rehearsed, typically two or three times. Readings run about an hour, more or less, followed by refreshments and a chance to talk with the actors and director about the reading.. If you're not on the Hyde Park Community Players mailing list, make sure to sign up at the bottom of our homepage, so you can find out about the next reading. Attending one (or more) will help give you a better idea of what's involved in putting a performance together. We would love for you to be part of this series, whether as an audience member, an actor, or a director!
