Reader’s Theatre

SEE CALENDAR OF EVENTS AND GET INVOLVED! If you want to get some experience in theatre before committing yourself to a season production, sign up for The Playmakers’ Readers’ Theatre. 

• You can help by reading plays that might be performed, scheduling performances, and seeking cast and directors. 
• Maybe your organization would like to schedule a Readers’ Theatre program. Please remember that we need plenty of lead time to find the right play and rehearse it. ​

• Call The Playmakers, leave a message that explains how you would like to be involved, and a volunteer will contact you. (918-786-8950) 
• There is no memorization necessary; you don't have to have a performance background. 
• It’s fun and mentally stimulating, and takes only a few rehearsals to prepare. 
• It’s a good way to meet both Playmaker veterans and newcomers. 
• It introduces the public to short plays, usually 10-20 minutes in length, that would otherwise stay on the page. 
• It gives people in our acting pool as well as newcomers more opportunities to perform. 
• It is not limited to seniors; we look for plays that have roles for young people as well as adults. ​
• In 2003, The Playmakers took the lead among Oklahoma’s community theatres in developing a successful Readers’ Theatre. Since then, almost 100 performances have delighted local audiences at teas, after-hour events, holiday events and organizational meetings. Most performances are held in area restaurants and businesses, bringing more customers and advertising to them.
