LET’S IMPROVISE: The West Windsor Arts Council’s New NOW Play Reading Series will focus on the development of original plays by area writers, artists, and playwrights. In addition, the NOW Theater Company is currently seeking actors for staged readings and performances.

West Windsor Arts Council has created a new forum for playwrights, actors, and artists to share their original works with a live audience. The New NOW Play Reading Series will be launched on Tuesday, September 4 at the West Windsor Arts Center.

The event will feature plays by four local playwrights including, Ian August, Jim Christy, EM Lewis, and Lynne Elson. Members of the audience will have the opportunity to discuss the works with the playwrights.

In addition, the New NOW Theater Company is seeking actors for staged readings and performances. The Theater Company will work closely with the Play Reading Series to organize new performances.

“I actually like play readings, because you get to use your imagination and focus on the words, like old time radio shows,” explained Lynne Elson, writer and artistic director of the NOW Theatre Company. “The plays are all very thought-provoking and unique. Catch the plays before they get famous and the ticket prices go way up.”

For more information, contact Co-Producing Artistic Director Lynne Elson at lynne@lynneelson.com or call (732) 491-5404. The West Windsor Arts Council is located at 952 Alexander Rd. in Princeton Junction.
