CRANFORD – The Theater Project and the Cranford Library will launch the autumn 2024 New Play Readings series at 2 p.m. on September 21, at CranfordCommunityCenter’s110-seat theater. Admission is free, with no registration required. “It’s like watching a rehearsal,” says Theater Project artistic director Mark Spina. “Actors are on their feet, carrying scripts, entering and exiting, to give audiences a look at what happens before opening night.” The playwrights are members of The Theater Project’s script development workshop.
