Description:
Every day a different play! For four consecutive days in June, the South Simcoe Theatre presents a lightly rehearsed "reading" of a different full length play or of several shorter plays. The actors sit in chairs and "read" the script to us, the audience, much like one might see or hear at the first day of rehearsal.
