Table Reading Series
About the program
The Lab's Table Reading Series presents readings of new musicals and musicals-in-development, written by Latiné-identifying writers and writing teams. The series provides a free space for writers to share and to revise their latest draft in a private setting with invited audience-members only.
Our Goals:
-
Provide a free space for writers to test and refine the current draft of their show
-
Offer four hours in the studio for the reading and day-of feedback session.
-
Hear the full arc of the story aloud, with appropriately cast actors.
-
Elevate the work of Latiné writers and providing resources to eliminate the gap in opportunity in the theatre industry.
-
Provide outside dramaturgical feedback, from both an outside dramaturg and Lab staff.
-
Showcase the script to potential collaborators, depending on the current development state of the show
