We DO have a working date of the 31ist. I figured that the spreadsheet would be good for figuring out how many people we have (and therefore what size of cast we'd need) - and once we'd picked, people could choose roles if they wanted, because I know some people don't want to cold read.
Kevy, I love Shakespeare too (screen name, duh!) but I know it can be a little intimidating the first time if you're not used to it - and I want the inaugural reading to be something that's inviting to the whole crowd.
If I had to pick at this moment, I'd probably pick David Ives' collection of short plays, because they're an ice breaker, and it won't matter if we have many or few readers (because we can double-cast across plays without the confusion of one person playing two characters in conversation.) But I love all of the stuff people suggested, so I'm open. Maybe if I could get a good gauge - do you guys feel like reading something classical or modern?
