Valley Theatre Company will host Reader's Theatre Events monthly - typically on the 2nd or 3rd Monday of the month starting at 6:30 PM. A $5 minimum donation is recommended. Funds go toward future Reader's Theatre events and towards the VTC Building Fund*.
Reader's Theatre, also called table reads or script reading, is where actors read a script live from the stage. Actors deliver their lines dramatically from the script with minimal direction and movement, but in character and with vigor. There are no technical elements such as props, costumes, scenery, or lighting, but the stage directions are read aloud to give the audience the context for each scene.


Reader's Theatre provides audiences the opportunity to interact in the theatrical process and may serve as a sneak peek at a potential upcoming productions, new works, radio plays, and adaptations. They’re often more experimental, and not every reading becomes a show, so the audience is always seeing and hearing something unique.
