What is a staged reading?
Matthews Playhouse is pleased to present this more intimate, immersive style of theatre in unexpected places around the community.
Actors read the script
Performers work from the script and use vocal expression to help the audience understand the story.
Only a suggestion of a set
There may not be costumes or props. What the room does not build, your imagination does.
The spoken word leads
With less to look at, the writing carries the evening. It engages you differently from traditional theatre.
