Our aim is to read full length plays although at times we have also read one act plays and sketches, some written by the Creative Writing Group. We vary our readings between classical and contemporary plays, comedies, thrillers, tragedies etc. As the majority of the group have been members of dramatic societies, they prefer reading a part rather than just sitting and listening.
The plays are chosen by suggestions from the members or the coordinator and given out at the meeting. We do not read the plays prior to our meeting. On some occasions members have to take more than one part when the play selected has a large cast.
If you just like to hear a play read, however, you are most welcome to join the group.

Our first meeting this session will be on Tuesday 28th September followed by meetings on 26th October and 30th November. There will be an extra meeting on Tuesday 7th December. Following the successful reading and performance of Terry McIntee’s amusing pantomime we hope to present a follow up version of Sleeping Beauty on Thursday 9th December at 10am in the Unitarian Chapel. Do join us for coffee and a chat on this occasion.
March 2010:
The Group were pleased to contribute to the Annual Concert in April with a small sketch written by member Terry McIntee entitled “Strange Goings-on in the The Great Outdoors”. We meet as usual in May and June but please note there will be no meetings in July and August. The Group will recommence on the last Tuesday of the month in September. In December we plan to perform a pantomime for the amusement of members of U3A: details in the next News Letter.

November 2009:
We will be having our usual Christmas get together at Helen Pollard’s on 15th December. Our thanks to Helen for her hospitality. The Group will continue to meet on the last Tuesday of the month in the Unitarian Chapel, Branthwaite Brow Kendal when all members take an active part in reading “the play of the month”. We also read sketches written by members of the Creative Writing Group and take part in the Annual Concert. Several new members have joined us and we hope they will enjoy participating in the readings.
PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO THE DATE OF EASTER WE WILL MEET ON 23 MARCH 2010
