SUMMARY:The Cherry Orchard – Freezing Point Play Reading Series
DESCRIPTION:Black Productions Presents Freezing Point: A Play Reading Series\n\nThe Cherry Orchard\nBy Anton Chekov\nDirected by Lindsay Clague\nCast TBA soon\n\nFriday\, February 23rd\, 2024\n7:30pm\nNelson United Church\n10$ donation at the door\n\n\n\nWhat exactly is a play reading?\n\n\n\nA play reading is the most basic version of a play. Actors deliver their lines directly from the script with minimal direction and movement\, but in character and with gusto. There are no technical elements such as props\, costumes or lighting\, but someone reads the stage directions aloud to give the audience the context for each scene.\n\n\n(from What’s a Play Reading and Why is it Cool?
