LEAN IN AND LISTEN. OUR READINGS USE YOUR IMAGINATION IN ENTIRELY NEW WAYS.



We've been concentrating on our readings as a way to present compelling stories for free, and engage with our audience more intimately. They are wildly popular. We've read numerous plays over the past few years in particular - to sold-out houses.

Here's a closer look at the shows we've presented lately:
