Call for readers for new monthly staged reading series
by Nicole Romo 31 May '18

31 May '18

Wandering Aesthetics’s Department of Agitation, Provocation, and Transformation Presents: A staged Reading of It Can’t Happen Here. Dedicated to political theater and current events, Wandering Aesthetics’s Department of Agitation, Provocation, and Transformation will be having a staged reading once a month of various political publications or works. It could be a play or even a congressional testimony. July will be our kick off event with a stage reading of the play It Can’t Happen Here on July 5. The department will have readings the first Thursday of every month. Call for Readers: Looking for current event enthusiasts , actors, or just people that like reading out loud. Everyone is welcome. Any readers that want to be involved can remain “with the company” if they choose to for future readings. Looking for readers ages 16 and up. Commitment: Readers will be asked to come to only two or three rehearsals before the event. This is a very minimal time commitment. Rehearsals will be based on everyone’s availability. This will be a non paid reading role but “wine tips” are negotiable. Contact Information: Please contact Nici Romo or Benjamin Rexroad at info(a)watheatre.com to sign up to be a reader or for any additional information. About the play: The play written in 1936 and shown as a part of the Living Newspaper shows, in a series of trenchant scenes in a small Vermont town, how a fascist movement begins, spreads and captures our free American institutions, and drives the few courageous and intelligent members of the community into a revolt which in the end we feel will prove successful. This is a fresh, forthright document, indignant, theatrical, human, occasionally humorous, setting forth clearly the idea that if the members of a democracy really care about liberty, they will guard it at the cost of their lives. Should this country fall into the hands of a Fascist dictator, what would happen? How would Americans react? -- *Nici Romo* Managing Artistic Director Dunamis Theatre
