HOW DOES THIS SCRIPT READING BOOK CLUB WORK?

How It Works 

​

  1. Sign Up & First Steps

    • Once you sign up, you’ll receive a welcome email with all the details for your first meeting.

    • The email will include:

      • The script selection and how much to read before the first meeting.

      • The meeting link (all meetings are online!).

      • Suggested themed snacks, drinks, dress-up ideas, and background images (all optional but fun!).
         

  2. Meeting Schedule

    • We meet every Monday night at 7 PM (CST).

    • All meetings are recorded, so if you miss one, you can watch it later.
       

  3. During the Meeting

    • We want everyone to participate as much as they feel comfortable! We encourage engagement, whether it’s sharing thoughts or just reacting in the chat. However, we respect that everyone has different comfort levels, so you can choose how much you’d like to participate.

    • You do not have to turn your camera on.

    • You do not have to speak if you’re not comfortable.

    • We encourage everyone to use the chat feature for discussion and engagement.

    • Our three rules are:

      1. Be Respectful

      2. Listen Carefully

      3. Bring Your Best
         

  4. End-of-the-Month Table Read

    • At the end of each month, we aim to produce a table read of the play.

    • A recorded version will be available for online members.

    • We’ll also host a free public showing for anyone local!

       

Frequently Asked Questions 

​

Q: How do I access the scripts?
A: We will focus on Public Domain scripts since they’re easily accessible. You’ll receive a link in the email to download if you want to read the script online, otherwise, you will be responsible for obtaining your own copy of the script (though we can help if you reach out).
 

Q: Can I submit my own scripts for the group to read?
A: At this time, we are not accepting script submissions. However, we’ll choose the next script as a group to keep things collaborative!


Q: Do I need any special software for the meetings?
A: Our meetings take place on a video conferencing platform (link provided via email). No special software is required beyond a stable internet connection and a phone, tablet, or computer.


Q: What if I can’t make a meeting?
A: No worries! All meetings are recorded and available for viewing later.


Q: Do I have to participate, or can I just listen?
A: You can participate as much or as little as you’d like! You’re welcome to listen, chat, or read—whatever makes you comfortable.


Q: What happens after the table read?
A: We’ll celebrate our journey through the play, share reflections, and start looking forward to the next script!
