Visions & Voices: Virago Theatre Company's New Play Reading Series

Alameda, CA

Virago Theatre Company presents staged readings of new works by Bay Area playwrights read by accomplished actors on four consecutive Monday evenings in July and August. Come hear some exciting unpublished and unproduced plays by local artists, and give us your feedback. We will choose a piece or two for full production in a future season based on audience feedback from these readings.

Our 2006 Play Reading Series gave us "The Death of Ayn Rand" and "A Bed of My Own" (performed in the summer of 2007), and "The Hermit Bird" (slated for full production in spring 2009).

Be one of the first to see and hear fresh new works in their earliest stages. Help Virago Theatre Company support local artists by attending one or more of these events.
