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.

July Script Read
July Script Read
Our next script read is happening on Wednesday, July 29th at 7:00 pm, with doors opening at 6:45! This month's script read will be held at the BMO Theatre Centre (162 W 1st Ave); you can RSVP here.
This month's script is Stupid Fucking Bird by Aaron Posner.
In this irreverent, contemporary, and very funny remix of Chekhov’s The Seagull, unrequited love and artistic angst take on a decidedly modern bent. An aspiring playwright with a radical view of the theatre yearns for love, acceptance, and success. His ingénue girlfriend searches for fame and oh so slyly goes after his mother’ famous boyfriend. A fading Hollywood star fights getting older by using her sardonic wit as a lethal weapon. Aaron Posner stages a timeless battle between young and old, past and present, in search of the true meaning of it all. Stupid Fucking Bird will tickle, tantalize, and incite you to consider how art, love, and revolution fuel your own pursuit of happiness.
A note on content: Stupid Fucking Bird includes crass and sexual dialogue and attempted suicide.
Script reads are a way to get to know new plays, meet people, and stay engaged with your acting in a relaxed 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.
