Step into the welcoming atmosphere of Theatre Works as doors open at 6:30pm. It's the perfect opportunity to connect with fellow theatre enthusiasts, catch up with friends, and perhaps enjoy a drink before the evening's theatrical adventure unfolds. The anticipation builds towards the pivotal moment at 6:45pm – the grand reveal of the play(s) for the night! The title remains a closely guarded secret until this very moment, ensuring a fresh and surprising experience for everyone involved.

Actors looking for a dynamic and engaging way to hone their skills, can book a PLAY reader ticket for $22 and exercise their cold reading skills in the PLAYground. Embrace the challenge of performing a script projected on a screen, freeing you to move around the space and engage your body. With no preparation and no way of getting it “right” or “wrong” It's an "actor's gym" in a supportive and fun environment to stay sharp, explore new characters and works, whilst networking with fellow performers.

Writers 7th Floor PLAYground also offers a valuable platform for emerging and established Playwrights.
