Stables Play Reading
Until April 2023, the U3A Stables Play Reading Group met online as the U3A Zoom Players.
The Stables Theatre have kindly agreed to let us meet in their bar area and granted access to their extensive library of plays.
In return, The Stables asks that members of the Play Reading Group are members of The Stables as well as U3A. Stables Annual Membership is £15 and entitles members to discounts for theatre bookings.
The group has been going for over two years and encompasses people with no and significant experience of the theatre. It is open to anyone who is a fluent reader and who can regularly attend our fortnightly meetings on Tuesdays from 10 to 12. At that time, the theatre grounds have ample free parking.
Pre-reading is not required. Parts are assigned for about twenty minutes at a time to ensure that all attending get more or less the same time reading. We are gender fluid when it comes to assigning parts.
The group is limited to nine to allow each person to have a fair amount of time reading.
When we met on line, we read a lot of out-of-copyright plays so we are now keen to indulge in more modern dramas. We aim for a mix of comedy and tragedy.
