Readers Theater Recap

After ten performances, with a total audience exceeding 200, Readers Theater has ended its 2023 Short Play Festival. We can proudly state that we brought smiles and laughter to all who attended.  Our final performance was at the Scotts Valley library and we were delighted to have a full house with over forty attendees.

All the plays were short -a couple just five minutes or so, and the others running from ten minutes to seventeen minutes. We had a cast of sixteen, allowing some folks new to NextStage and to acting, to tip their toes into this form of drama. As their director, it has been an absolute delight to see everyone flourish and hone their skills.  By the end of the run, most everyone knew their scripts and were delivering polished, professional work.  I am so proud of them and grateful to the authors who have the talent to write great comedies suitable for those of “a certain age!”
