"Admissions" — A Staged Reading by A Classic Theatre

Staged Readings by A Classic Theatre

During the 2024/25 theatre season, A Classic Theatre will present four staged readings of full-length plays on one Friday a month in November, January, February, and April. Each performance begins at 7:30 p.m. at the Center for Spiritual Living, 1795 Old Moultrie Road in St. Augustine.

Considered by some to be the "purest form of theatre," staged readings don't have sets, props, or light cues, and few or no costumes. The actors perform using a script and necessary stage directions are read to help the audience understand what is happening. The actors rehearse each program, focusing on the script and their delivery to bring the playwright's work to life for the audience.

Who Am I This Time?
