About the event

This company came about at the start of the COVID-19 world pandemic as a way for theater artists to have some fun and keep working on their art.  The goal was simple: read new, preferably unpublished pieces, with a diverse group of actors from all over the country.  We initially wanted these readings to offer an escape from reality for both our artists and viewers, and we wanted to make them as stress free as possible.  With those goals in mind we set out on our first season with one rehearsal prior to each reading, two readings a week, and focus on stories that didn’t reflect the quarantine of real life.  In an attempt to share the experience with our playwrights we invite all of them to a talk back following each reading.  Our first season was more successful than we imagined with some readings receiving over 600 views and our company of artists grew as well (now in three other countries)!  In the company meetings that followed our first reading we set an additional goal for our second season.  We prescribe to idea that being an artist is inherently being an activist, but we want to take this a step further and incorporate a focus on community action.  All our plays from this season and beyond will link to a donation page for a different charity.  We have always been totally free and volunteer actors, but if you feel moved to donate after a reading we ask you share this money with the corresponding organization or charity.  Art is a wonderful escape at times, but it’s a more powerful tool for change and that is what we would like to infuse our second season with.  We are so excited to share these new voices with you and hope you’ll join us on our continued journey.
