PLAY READING COMMITTEE
June 28, 2008 was the start of play
reading activity for the 2009/2010 season. Meetings will
be held approximately every 2 weeks. If you are a member
and would like to join our Play Reading
Committee, call the box office at 727-446-1360 or e-mail
fwpPlayreading@franciswilsonplayhouse.org to be
added to the
notification list. Meetings are normally
scheduled for 10 AM on every other Saturday morning from
mid-June through to mid-October.
The theatre supplies the scripts, and members read them at
home (about 3 each week -- they take about an hour each). At
the meeting, the suitability of each script is discussed. The
committee chairperson takes notes and gradually a consensus
emerges. By mid October, the slate of recommendations for
the following season is ready to present to the board.
We have lots of fun reading old chestnuts, new chestnuts and
everything in between.
Each year we try to aim at two big musicals, one smaller
musical, one drama, one mystery and three comedies. Sometimes
we find plays that fit into more than one category.
We encourage local play writers who have full length scripts
to submit them for consideration.
We strongly encourage our
patrons, besides our actors and board members to
participate in the play reading. This committee makes
the recommendations for our next seasons plays and is very
important.

If you have any favorites for us to consider for our
2009/2010 season,
let us know. Plays must please our audience and fit our
stage ...Hannibal Crossing The Alps might be entertaining to
watch, but it would be impossible to cast, and cost a fortune
to clean up the stage every night!!
Do you wish to see more of a certain type of play...
Mysteries
Comedies
Warm Drama
Musicals
(Remember that musicals cost much more to put on, and we
might have to raise our prices if we do more.)
