Each participant will be assigned a character as they arrive. Each reader may read more than one character depending upon the play and the amount of participants. Upon arrival, the concession stand will be available for beverages and snacks. Feel free to invite friends or older family members to observe. If they choose not to read….it will still be an adventure! There is no cost to participate, or to watch, though donations are certainly welcome.
