Apollinaire Theatre is excited to invite you to join us for Apollinaire at Home, a free online play & film script reading gathering! Apollinaire at Home is hosted by your Apollinaire favorites, and the cast includes You!!
Readings will be Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings at 7:30, and Sunday "matinee" at 3:00.
We're starting this week with some classics that are readily available online, and hope we'll also get permission to read some adventurous contemporary scripts. We'll post the schedule for each week at the beginning of the week.

Here's how it works:
Getting Ready:
• Click the name of the Play/Movie on http://www.apollinairetheatre.com/ to get a link to the script.
To read the script you can
- download and print it, or
- read it on a separate phone/ipad/computer, or
- if your screen permits, you can be in the video conference and read it on the same screen.
The Event Begins:
• Log-in to the meeting, by clicking the date of the meeting on http://www.apollinairetheatre.com/.
• We will start to gather online in the video meeting room at 7:00pm. (2:30 Sunday)
-- We would normally provide refreshments, but since Zoom doesn't give us the option to hand you a glass of wine, we suggest having your own snacks and drinks at the ready.
• When you join, please click the chat button and let us know if you are interested in reading a major role, smaller role, or being part of the audience.
• At 7:30 (3:00 Sunday) sharp we'll draw names, you'll pick your role, and we'll read!
• Following the reading, we'll stay on line for a half hour for folks who'd like to discuss the play/film.
No worries if you are not among the technologically gifted. We're as new to this as you are, and there's sure to be some glitchiness at first, but with a bit of humor and perseverance we'll make this work!
Looking forward to reading with you!!
