FAQs:
Q: What is a staged reading?
A: A staged reading is a performance of a script in front of an audience, where actors read from scripts rather than memorizing lines. It's a pared-down theatrical event that focuses on the spoken word, with minimal or no sets, costumes, or props.
Q: What's the point of a staged reading?
A: When a new play is being written and developed,
staged readings help the playwright to hear the story off of the page for the first time so that they can be more objective about the play’s structure and content. During this time, the playwright can also gain feedback from peers and audience members in a lower-stakes environment.
Q: Why should I attend a staged reading?
A: As an audience member, staged readings are your chance to play an active role in the development of a brand new play. Your response can help determine which scenes and characters remain or get reworked. It’s a chance to get a behind-the-curtain look at how plays and musical are created. It’s also an opportunity to say you were the first to see a play that could make it big someday!
