Curious. Thought-provoking. Made for sharing.

Join us at The Engine Room for our FREE monthly Play Reading Group. Together we’ll read and discuss plays by local writers and ThickSkin collaborators, uncovering new stories, ideas and perspectives. Some of the playwrights will join us for the conversation.

This is about curiosity, connection and discovering something new. No theatre experience required. Whether you’re a lifelong theatre lover or completely new to plays, you’ll find a welcoming space to read, reflect and share ideas with others in relaxed, fun and friendly sessions.

Expect conversation. Expect community. Expect to leave inspired.
