About this Event
Scripted Social - Play Reading Group (April's Read)
We invite you along to 53two Studio in Manchester for our April play reading group session ran by Jessica Moir who is a creative facilitator and director! Join us on 25th April, 2026 at 10:00 AM to dive into our selected script which for this month is Last Night on Earth by Kieran Scott! Let's gather together, share our thoughts, and enjoy the magic of theatre in a safe, communal setting. No acting experience required, just bring your enthusiasm and love for the stage!
Our morning is spent reading the plays and in the afternoon, we play around with some of the scenes in a relaxed, loose rehearsal setting!
See you there!
