Every single month, we come together as a community to read through a script together! It may be a brand-new script, an old classic, a musical, or an original by a local playwright. If you would like to read, roles are randomly assigned (or requested, if you have a dream role you'd love to play). Don't feel like reading out loud this month? Come on out just to listen! New people are always welcome.
At Bramble, we care about creating opportunities for more people to be involved in theatre. Script reads are our most consistent, low-barrier, accessible way that we do this. To be updated about upcoming script reads join our mailing list and follow us on Instagram.
Script Reads give you...
A casual gathering space for artists to meet and hang out!
Chances to hear new scripts
A low-stakes way to get involved with Bramble
Opportunities to practice doing cold-reads and flex your acting skills
The delight of getting to play unique characters
The chance to read a script you love or that you wrote! We take suggestions—message us on instagram or email us if you have one!
Our next script read is happening on Sunday December 12 at 2:00 pm! This script read will take place on Zoom; you can find the link in our Instagram bio on the day of the read.
This month, we will be reading a play from one of our favourite playwrights: The Aliens by Annie Baker. Two thiryish men, Jasper and KJ, meet to discuss music and poetry in an alley behind a coffee shop. When Evan, a high school student who works at the coffee shop arrives, the men decide to teach him everything they know.
Script reads are a way to get to know new plays, meet people, and stay engaged with your acting in the chillest environment! At Bramble, we hope to create ways for people to keep engaging with theatre outside of working on shows.
Everyone is welcome - bring a device to read off of and come on out to read a script with us.
