First Reads with Montana Repertory Theatre

Missoula Public Library is proud to host the Montana Repertory Theatre for First Reads, a staged reading series featuring local actors reading three contemporary plays the Rep is considering for full productions. Staged readings test stories in the community before sets, costumes, or other theatrical elements are added, allowing the audience and the actors to envision a future production. If you’re a theatre lover, if you want to be the first to hear the plays the Rep is considering, or even if you just enjoy audiobooks or radio plays, you don’t want to miss Montana Repertory Theatre’s First Read.

All readings are free and open to the public.
