Script Readings
What is a script reading?
A script reading is a collaborative session where participants read a script aloud together. In our case, these happen over zoom.
Do I need acting experience to participate?​
Absolutely not! Whether you are just interested in the story, ​you want to practice cold reading, or you are just looking to hang out with some cool people for an evening, this is for you!
How much does this cost?
There is no cost for our script readings. We want everyone to be able to participate.
How does it work?
Register online for one of our upcoming script readings, we will email you a copy of the script, which you are free to print out, or read from your device, and a link to our Zoom room. When the time comes, hop online to join in!
How much time is involved with participating?
​Our script readings normally run between 1-2 hours. Outside of that there is no specific time requirement. It is up to you whether or not you read through the script before the event.

Synopsis
The war is over. Pedro Prince of Aragon, with his followers Benedick and Claudio, visits Leonato, Duke of Messina, father of Hero and uncle of Beatrice.
Secret love
Claudio falls in love with Hero and their marriage is agreed upon. Beatrice and Benedick despise love and engage in comic banter.
The others plot to make them fall in love with each other, by a trick in which Benedick will overhear his friends talking of Beatrice's supposed secret love for him, and vice versa.
The plot
Meanwhile Don John, the prince's misanthropic illegitimate brother, contrives a more malicious plot with the assistance of his follower Borachio: Claudio is led to believe that he has witnessed Hero in a compromising situation on the night before her wedding day – in fact it is her maid Margaret with Borachio.
Claudio denounces Hero during the marriage ceremony. She faints and on the advice of the Friar, who is convinced of her innocence, Leonato announces that she is dead. Beatrice demands that Benedick should kill Claudio.
