The Naked Stage presents staged readings of new works by local, emerging playwrights and old favorites by seasoned veterans. Each reading is organized by a lead artist who chooses the work and casts the actors, who perform with minimal staging, costumes and props. Following the reading, the actors and audience members, often joined by the playwright, engage in an exchange about the work and performance.

Tuesday nights at 7:30pm, The Naked Stage is presented approximately two times per month in the fall, winter and spring. FREE and open to the public!

All staged readings at Guild Hall are sponsored in part by Dina Merrill and Ted Hartley.
