SPRING NEW PLAY READING
Since 1998, Theatre Kingston has offered playwrights the opportunity to have their new plays 'workshopped' with our New Play Readings, and have treated Kingston audiences to a glimpse of some never before seen or heard works-in-progress by some of Canada's leading and most promising playwrights. This valuable program combines professional dramaturgy and direction with professional actors in a theatre setting, to publicly read works that are on their way to production. Often, Theatre Kingston has gone on to further develop and/or eventually produce these new works.
The readings, though professional, are intended to be informal and accessible, and audiences are encouraged to provide feedback and/or ask questions about the work, the playwright or the creative process. A fun, exciting, unique and valuable experience, our New Play Readings are not to be missed.
2007 New Play Reading: Saturday 2 June @ 3pm

Theatre Kingston presents the first public reading of OLD ENOUGH TO KILL, a new play by John Lazarus -- a dark comedy about Fleance, the boy who escaped Macbeth's murderers to become the future King of Scotland.
