OUR STORY

A Virtual Stage

Our mission is to provide a virtual platform for playwrights to hear their in-development works read aloud to refine their works through performance and constructive feedback. Playwrights receive interdisciplinary feedback from our company members to develop their work. We provide feedback from a panel of professionals in fields including writing, editing, playwriting, education, acting, directing, and technical theatre. We also have experts bringing perspectives from varied fields such as mental health, technology, and theology.

Walking Shadow Readers Theatre is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
