Theatre has always been an integral part of every culture, reflecting and expanding the experience of those who are a part of that culture. From primitive storytelling to the massive, expensive formal productions of the present day, theatre informs, teaches, and profoundly affects us all.
The plays are presented in a staged reading format. Staged readings are plays read by actors, possibly with some movement and interaction between the actors. They use no sets; no stage lighting; and few, if any, props. |
