Reading Theatre Series: Our Town

Reading Theatre is a new community program at Eighth and Eight for those with a passion for live theatre. A live play reading of iconic plays over the ages. All are welcome and encouraged — from the seasoned professional to the inquisitive amateur and everyone in between.

Show up and read, or listen to others read these incredible shows.  A short discussion may take place…or not.  This is an event led by the cast and audience.

Readers will be chosen just before the play reading begins and will be cast by those who show up and express an interest in being involved.  Some roles may be double cast.

Reading begins at 2pm so please show up by 1:30pm if you wish to have a chance to read.

The first play being read in Reading Theatre is Our Town by Thornton Wilder, described by Edward Albee as “the greatest American play ever written” and we’d love to see you there.

This event is being led by Allan Morgan, Senior Artist in Residence and Vancouver theatre scene stalwart.
