Empowering Emerging
Theatre Voices
At The Table Read Co., we aim to support emerging theatre voices through intimate readings, feedback, and a collaborative space to grow your work from the page to the stage. We are a fresh company and our goal is to take your project (in whatever stage it is at) and give you a cast, space, and opportunity to hear it & possibly see it on its feet. We want to use our theatrical community to create opportunities for each other & uplift new writers together.
Our dream is to bring people together to create, boost, and appreciate new theatre.
