"PLAYWRIGHTS OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST"
READERS THEATRE REPERTORY
Portland, Oregon
Readers Theatre Repertory is an Equity Letter of Agreement staged reading company in Portland, Oregon. (www.readerstheatrerep.org; Facebook: http://tinyurl.com/73k4cdl)
RTR is now in its 10th season of hour-long evenings of one-act plays at Blackfish Gallery, our intimate, 50-seat theatre home. Though we can best be described as a staged reading company, our shows are something of a hybrid, with blocking, costumes, props, lighting and sound effects also a part of the production.
In April 2010, RTR is again staging "Playwrights of the Pacific Northwest," and is currently seeking entries from all interested playwrights.
