The Howland Company is proud to host The Reading Group**.

Once a month, The Howland Company hosts a free open event called The Reading Group, where artists are encouraged to gather, meet, reconnect and work with fellow members of the Toronto theatre community and ultimately read a play together.

The readings are a laid-back, social way to work with our peers and continue to develop our craft. As always, everything will be provided so all you have to do is show up.

**In these challenging, isolating times, more than ever we are craving – connection, inspiration, art, stories, community, SO we will be taking The Reading Group ONLINE for the time being. 

Join us for our next VIRTUAL session of The Reading Group:

Up Next: TBA
When: Monday April 27 at 7pm
Location: WHEREVER YOU ARE with internet access! Join us on ZOOM, a free online video conference site/app where we can VIRTUALLY gather and read a play together. Click on our Reading Group ZOOM event link when posted here.

In the mean time, if you are interested in attending The Reading Group:
