We are starting our reading series — online! And our first reading is of Everything You Can Do (To Make the World A Better Place) by Ian August. A tale of Kelly, an activist novice and Sophia, an activist extraordinaire.

The reading was recorded and is now streaming on our fb page, https://www.facebook.com/wordsmyththeaterco/posts/3659427257423864; and our youtube channel: https://youtu.be/l5wdvztGp9w.

We will have 5 more readings between now and the end of the year — so keep an eye on this website!
