TheatreWorks is excited to present the 2010 Season for its Page to Stage staged reading series. The purpose of this series is to bring to the forefront some of the best scripts that, for some reason or another, may not always receive the attention they fully deserve.  As with the 2009 season, this season's pieces have been selected with care; none of them has been seen on stage locally. The staged readings offer a chance for audiences to experience a sophisticated evening of great theatre.

Tickets are made available for each reading about a month before the scheduled reading.
Admission is FREE!
