“It nearly made me sick”
That’s how writer Patrick Gauthier describes his jitters the first time sitting through a staged reading of a script he authored.
This Thursday at GCTC the atmosphere should be much more relaxed for Patrick; now an experienced playwright and director, he will be watching as professional actors read from his new play “Airport Security”, as well as from new works by playwrights David Hersh and Margo MacDonald.
The readings continue Friday night, sampling new scripts by Kelley Tish Baker, Laurie Fyffe, and Elisabeth Harvor. Admission to both nights is free; seating is first-come first served. Shows start at 8.00 p.m, and are presented as part of the “Launch Pad” series in conjunction with the Magnetic North festival.
If you’ve never been to a reading, not to worry –check the audio link below as Patrick gives the details on just what first-timers can expect.
