A relaxed monthly play reading for people who love the theatre, from a comfortable distance.
Who We Are
The Play Reading Group is a casual monthly get-together for anyone who enjoys a good script. We're teachers, accountants, retirees, students and everyone in between.
We read, we stumble over lines, we laugh, and then we talk about the play over a pint. No pressure, no drama. Well, only the good kind.

This Month
Written between Hedda Gabler and The Master Builder. Ellida Wangel is caught between a stormy past and the security of family and responsibility with her husband, Dr. Wangel. In a home on a fjord, the sea is a constant presence. Will she remain and suffocate — or find freedom across the water?
The address will be in a follow-up email to everyone who RSVPs.
Save a SeatA Typical Sunday
Third Sunday of the month, 1:00 to 4:00 PM. Grab your drink, say hello, and claim a seat around the reading table.
The Curator shares the script a few days ahead so returning members can have a look. At the table, roles are handed out and we do a quick character rundown before we begin.
We read through the full play together. Laughing, stumbling, discovering. Whether it's your first time or your fiftieth, something always surprises you.
Post-read, we open the floor. What surprised you? What landed? What didn't? The conversation is always lively.
Our Reading History
"The misadventures were legendary."
"Two members refused to put it down."
"The discussion ran longer than the play."
"The dinner-party scene had the whole room."
"Absolute chaos. Perfect chaos."
"Nobody could stop laughing."
New Members Welcome
We're opening up the group as we move into our new pub home. You don't need any experience. If you can read aloud and enjoy a good story, you'll fit right in.
Register on Luma for this month's reading. Hosts review sign-ups, then we'll send the Oakville address in a follow-up email to everyone who RSVPs.
