BREAKFAST AUDITIONS

Email Pam Dudley:  pamcdudley@gmail.com

REHEARSALS will be Thursday, Mar 25th and Friday, Mar 26th evenings. Actual time will be determined after auditions based on actor availability.

PERFORMANCES will be Saturday, Mar 27th at 7:30pm and Sunday, Mar 28th at 2:30pm with a Q&A discussion with playwright Pam Dudley afterwards for those who would like to stay and engage. 
Breakfast is an intergenerational historical drama, set in Corsicana, Texas on the first day of school integration in 1970. With 17-year old Cora at the center, a series of interconnected, two person, one-act plays serve up the grits and grit of this small town coming of age story. Inspired by events in rural Texas towns.

Social Distancing Safety Precautions:
Safety of cast, crew and audience is paramount. Throughout this production, only two actors are on stage at a time. Seating will be limited and follow safety protocols of one empty row between each row and two empty seats between each group of patrons. 

Be sure to wear your mask to the audition and find a seat socially distanced from others there. Thank you.

What is this "Reader's Theatre" you speak of?
Think of it like a workshop, or reading of a script but with a little bit of preparation, minor staging and a few props thrown in for good measure. Nothing too fancy now, just a sprinkling. As we begin this uncharted journey we're just doing two rehearsals, then two performance readings. 

​
How much will tickets be? 
You can secure a seat via donation. Details coming soon.

​
Can I reserve a seat?
