Readings at Redtwist
Redtwist is committed to supporting local playwrights and building community beyond our mainstage productions. On Tuesdays at 7 PM Redtwist will host play readings of new plays in our lobby or on our stage. These readings are a valuable opportunity for playwrights to hear how their words read aloud by professional actors and to see how audiences respond to their work. Readings at Redtwist are open to the public and Pay-What-You-Can.

But when an anti-gay hate crime occurs one fall, everything Judith believes about inspiring the next generation of reporters, and the definition of truth itself, is called into question.
