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.

This month, we will be ushering in a horror play: 2:22: A Ghost Story by Danny Robins. Jenny believes her new home is haunted, but her husband Sam isn't having any of it. They argue with their first dinner guests, old friend Lauren, and new partner Ben. Can the dead really walk again? Belief and scepticism clash, but something feels strange and frightening, and that something is getting closer, so they're going to stay up... until 2:22... and then they'll know.
An award-winning script full of twists and scares, this is a perfect event to add to your October calendar!
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.
