CITY READS
FREE to the public
As of April 2020, all CityReads are presented virtually.
​
We'll continue to present CityReads virtually until we can all safely return to live events.
​
Come enjoy the Reading Series of the National Award for Short Playwriting on Facebook Live and YouTube.
Our last reading for the 2020-2021 Season took place on April 1. Come back and join us next year!
We look forward to seeing you.
Audiences have opportunities year-round to enjoy free readings at CITY READS of original works submitted to us for production consideration.
Regional actors perform at various locations, particularly at well-regarded Books & Books, and CityWrights readings.
These informal, entertaining gatherings give audiences a chance to give feedback.
They contribute to our selection process, while allowing a work to come off the page with the use of actors and audience members, the two most basic ingredients necessary for producing a play.
​
A number of the plays produced at SUMMER SHORTS are discovered at CITY READS.
