Dramatic Reading party?

LSPoorEeyorick · 04-29-2008, 10:22 AM

I had the good fortune to be part of a recent gathering that involved a bit of round-robin reading. In the midst of enjoying hearing my friends read (and enjoying reading, myself) I realized that I'd forgotten an idea I've had for years - for a party, of sorts.

Would anyone be interested in participating in (or simply attending) a dramatic reading party? For instance, we'd select a play, and those who wanted to read would gather for an evening to choose parts and read it aloud, perhaps followed by a discussion of the play itself. I'd love to host something like this, but due to the nature of the activity, we'd want to select a work that was small (if there were only a few people interested, like "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?") or large (if there were a bunch of us, like a Shakespeare play.) If it turned out to be fun and there was interest, I'd even host it semi-regularly.

Anyone think they might be interested?
