Reader’s Theatre was developed as a convenient and effective means to present literary works in dramatic form. This is still its primary function, though many scripts now published are original dramatic works rather than literary adaptations. Reader´s Theatre members meet regularly on the second Saturday of every month at noontime at the Pineapple Playhouse. Everyone is welcome to attend regardless of age or stage experience. Productions are offered throughout the season, and many find it useful in preparing themselves for parts before auditioning for one of our mainstage productions. There are many styles of Reader’s Theatre, but nearly all share these traits:

• No full memorization.
• Scripts are held during performance.
• No full costume. If used at all, costumes are partial and suggestive, or neutral and uniform.
• No full stage sets. If used at all, sets are simple and suggestive.
• Narration provides the framework for dramatic action.

Joyce Jonas has been our Reader's Theatre Director here at the Pineapple Playhouse for the past two years, and she brings with her over twenty years of theatrical background. We are extremely proud of Joyce and our Reader's Theatre program and invite you to join us.
