What we’re about
Welcome former theatre kids!
Let's read plays aloud on Zoom together (scripts will be displayed so you can read along). New play ideas are always welcome - just no musicals, as not all of us can sing!
Character sign-ups are first come, first serve. Choose your favorite - age, gender, etc. do not matter!
And if you want to dive deeply into the character, costumes and makeup are more than welcome!

Spring Awakening by Frank Wedekind
·OnlineOnlineThis rendition of Spring Awakening (not the musical version) has been translated and adapted by Edward Bond. It follows the same story arcs, including Wendla’s struggle with her mother's evasive answers about sexuality, Moritz’s academic pressures leading to despair, and Melchior’s philosophical inquiries. Ultimately, the play culminates in tragic events resulting from the characters' search for truth and understanding in a world that frequently denies them such knowledge.
