Every single month, we come together as a community to read through a script together! It may be a brand-new script, an old classic, a musical, or an original by a local playwright. If you would like to read, roles are randomly assigned (or requested, if you have a dream role you'd love to play). Don't feel like reading out loud this month? Come on out just to listen! New people are always welcome.
At Bramble, we care about creating opportunities for more people to be involved in theatre. Script reads are our most consistent, low-barrier, accessible way that we do this. To be updated about upcoming script reads join our mailing list and follow us on Instagram.

October Script Read
October Script Read
Our next script read is happening on Tuesday, October 20 at 7:00 pm, with doors opening at 6:45! This month's script read will be held at the BMO Theatre Centre (162 W 1st Ave).
This month's script is peerless by Jiehae Park.
Jiehae Park’s clever and incisive adaptation of Macbeth is a comedy… until it’s not. peerless (subtitled A High School Macbeth) tells the story of high school seniors and Asian-American twin sisters M and L who will do whatever it takes to win the one coveted affirmative action spot at “The College.” When the thick acceptance envelope falls into the hands of D, a white male colleague who is 1/16th Native American, the sisters will stop at nothing to take back what is rightfully theirs, and will eliminate anyone who stands in their way. With biting wit and vicious glee, peerless lifts the tragedy and comedy of the college application process to a level that is, in a word, Shakespearean.
Script reads are a way to get to know new plays, meet people, and stay engaged with your acting in a relaxed environment! At Bramble, we hope to create ways for people to keep engaging with theatre outside of working on shows.
Everyone is welcome - bring a device to read off of and come on out to read a script with us.
