Readers Theatre

Readers Theatre offers a different kind of night at the theatre. Instead of full sets and costumes, the spotlight stays on the story and the actors. You’ll hear the script read aloud by skilled performers who bring the characters to life with nothing more than their voices, expressions, and a few simple gestures.

The result feels warm, personal, and engaging. Many people enjoy Readers Theater because it moves at a comfortable pace and invites you to use your imagination. It also gives you a chance to experience works that may not appear on the mainstage but are still worth discovering.

For audiences who like thoughtful stories, lively readings, and a more relaxed theatrical experience, Readers Theater is an easy and enjoyable way to spend an evening at TNP.
