The South Florida Theatre League
Invites patrons to attend
Free Play Readings
“And our audiences have grown,” says Board Member and Marketing Chair Carol Kassie. “We’ve seen full theatres – which is always exciting – and a good number of patrons who attend multiple readings. We’ve also found that patrons who attend a reading a particular theatre often return to that theatre to attend a paid performance. So we consider the program a great success on both sides of the footlights!”
In addition to the reading series, this year, Summer Theatre Fest will launch on June 5 with a full day of theatre artist focused activities. Michael Leeds and Caryl Fantel, award winning director and musical director, will be leading a day long workshop on how to audition – which includes advice on choosing pieces that are right for you, how to prepare your audition material, and finding the right key for your song. The musical theatre workshop will run from 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM and the straight acting workshop will run from 2:30 PM to 6:30 PM. Actors can participate in either individual workshop for $20 or attend both for $30. Participants must be members of the South Florida Theatre League and please contact Andie Arthur, executive director, at
andie@southfloridatheatre.com to sign up. The day of workshops will end with an evening networking mixer for theatre professionals. This is free and open to the public and a great way for theatre artists to get to know each other in a casual setting.
