Bring Theater Home with our Sandra Seacat Virtual Theatre

Our Sandra Seacat Virtual Theatre featured our Friday Night Readings and Live Radio Play.

Friday Night Readings is a live streamed event combining actors and writers from everywhere for table reads. Allowing for collaborations of the work and questions and answers about the writing process.

Live Radio Plays brings AZRP 29.9 to our virtual theatre to present a performance of a real radio play.

Our hope is to create opportunities for artist’s everywhere to have resources to connect and collaborate, grow and learn, especially continue to feed the artist within. The current time has opened us up to pathways of networking that surpass our limitations to create in ways we never imagined. We strive to amuse, distract and affect our audience in ways that inspire innovation in our art. We invite and welcome artists everywhere to contribute their unique voice to our mission.
