A staged reading is a directed peice with fully developed characters and an enjoyable theatrical experience. It has minimal lighting and blocking and the actors read from the script. The focus of this is to analyze the themes of the play and to help the playwright make the play as strong as possible. There will be a Q&A directly after with the playwright!
In our continuing effort to bring theater to mass audiences, eyeBLINK proudly presents a full-length play by Carolina Aguilera.
