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.

Thank you for joining us for the March script read! Our next script read is happening on Tuesday, May 13th at 6:30pm! We will be meeting at Douglas Park (801 W 22nd Ave, Vancouver BC). In the case of rain, we will be moving to 6088 Minoru BLVD, Richmond BC. We will post a weather update on our instagram story in the case of an indoor pivot.
This month, we will be reading The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) by Adam Long, Daniel Singer, and Jess Winfield. In this hilarious and fast-paced comedy, three actors try to perform all of Shakespeare's 37 plays and 154 sonnets in just 95 minutes! The plays are parodied, combined, and/or shortened, and the wall between the actors and the audience doesn't exist.
Script reads are an important part of Bramble and a low-stakes way to join us and participate. Bring a device to read off of and come on out to read a new script, hang out with other artists, and see what Bramble is all about.
