The Theatre-Goers Book Club, originally named the Playscript Readers Group, was formed in 2015 as an extension of the Cresswind Neighborhood Theatre.
In addition to the primary focus of reading and analyzing plays, the additional
element of attending a live performance at a local theatre is a great way to share
insights and appreciate all dimensions of the theatre experience.
What a great way to celebrate and support our local theatres!
