Apollinaire at Home is a free virtual play & film script reading gathering.


Readings are hosted by Apollinaire favorites, and the cast includes all those who’d like to join in. It’s not a performance, rather a fun social read of some favorite plays and film scripts and a chance to read some future favorites.


Readings will be held in an online video conference space on:
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings at 7:30 (gathering starts at 7), and we'll have a Sunday matinee at 3:00 (gathering starts at 2:30).


We'll post the schedule for each week, and details for joining in at: www.apollinairetheatre.com.

Here's how it works:


Getting Ready:


• Click the name of the Play/Movie on our homepage: apollinairetheatre.com to get a link to 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. (You can join the "video meeting" at any time if you want to try it out in advance.)


The Event Begins:


• Log-in to the meeting, by clicking the date of the meeting on our homepage.


We will start to gather online in the video meeting room at 7:00pm.


-- 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 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.
