BP Drama Club Workshop—

Charity Readers Theatre Script Reading

What: Beijing Playhouse Drama Club Workshop— Charity Readers Theatre Miracle on 34th Street script reading.

When: Tuesday, November 7, 2017. 6:30 pm, social. 7:30 pm, workshop starts.

Workshop Leaders: Charity Readers Theatre Miracle on 34th Street stage manager Tiziano Kirchner.

Workshop Focus: We’ll read the script for Miracle on 34th Street and explain what Charity Readers Theatre is all about and how to audition for readers theatre.

Charity Readers Theatre: Charity Readers Theatre, presented by Beijing Playhouse Drama Club, is all about acting, acting, acting. There are almost no costumes, no props, no sets, no lighting design, no sound design, no subtitles. It’s all acting. And as it is readers theatre, actors will carry scripts to refer to.

100% of all ticket sales are donated to charity. The beneficiary of this performance of Miracle on 34th Street is Yuanzhong Gender Development Center 源众性别发展中心/北京源众咨询charity.

Charity Readers Theatre is an artistic process where actors rehearse for only one week. And at the end of that week, we do one performance only. It’s a show in a week. Beijing Playhouse’s main stage shows take three months to rehearse and perform. So CRT is a much smaller commitment on behalf of actors. While the commitment is much less, one week as opposed to three months, that will be one extremely intense week. Actors who are cast will live and breathe this show for that week.

Show: Miracle on 34th Street. Traditional Miracle on 34th Street is about the true spirit of Christmas and believing in the magic of it all. When a nice old man who claims to be Santa Claus is institutionalized as insane, a young lawyer decides to defend him by arguing in court that he is the real thing.
