Read A Play With Us!
The Howland Company is proud to host The Reading Group, a free event where all are welcome to drop in and cold-read a part in the chosen play, with roles switching around on the fly. The readings are a laid-back and social way to read a play together and to get the opportunity to engage in discussion and meet people in the community.
Everything will be provided so all you have to do is show up.
The Reading Group will be returning in the Fall of 2023. Stay tuned for more information!
The Play: TBA
The Location: TBA
If you are interested in attending The Reading Group:
- RSVP with us at info@howlandcompanytheatre.com or check out our facebook events at TheHowlandCompanyTheatre.
- Join us on the night at 7pm to read or listen along.
We look forward to reading with you soon!
