ETC Presents A Brand New Play
Sunday | May 5th - 2 p.m
An exciting new play will be presented as a staged
reading to get audience feedback.
The Naples Players’ ETC Readers Theatre program offers all levels
of actors the opportunity to read original works, daring contemporary
plays, and classic literature out-loud throughout the year.
Performed with limited costumes, scenery, and scripts in-hand,
this program is an in-depth look into the foundations of literature
and performance. Audiences are encouraged to offer feedback directly to playwrights about
the plays; and to engage in conversations surrounding the themes and elements of a play.
Certain scripts are read in front of an audience for consideration for a future main-season
performance.
The relaxed nature of performances and the focus on the writing also makes ETC Readers
Theatre an appropriate environment for training actors and directors of all skill levels; and for
literature lovers who wish to engage in the creative process without the time commitments
and higher-stresses of fully staged performances.
