What are readings? Wilma productions start long before they reach the stage. Throughout the year, our Resident Acting Company, HotHouse, reads through a number of plays before we’ve even decided to stage them.
Why host a reading? Our artistic team’s decisions within and around a play are influenced by how the play sounds when read aloud and how the audience reacts. Our subscribers/audiences have asked us to do more readings like these and we are delivering!
$35 per ticket
$100 for all 3 readings

Obie Award-winners Milo Cramer and Morgan Green return with JURY DUTY, a bold theatrical exploration of the voir dire process that fuses real transcripts, personal stories, and striking media design to probe justice, bias, and civic responsibility in a fractured legal system.
FRIDAY, FEB 6 at 7PM
Horsegirl is a trans woman in her thirties who lives with her father, Cowdaddy, in a small town in Southern Pennsylvania. She falls in love with a do-gooder named Bethel who physically transforms Horsegirl into the person (or thing) they want her to be. Cowdaddy attempts to pull his daughter back to him and Horsegirl must decide for herself what a happy life looks like.

To Be Announced:
Our last reading this season is still a mystery! We have the theater reserved and are securing the rights in order to do the reading. That takes quite a bit of back and forth but we’ll announce the play long before you arrive. We are truly bringing you along for the process as we hash it all out!
