About IGNITION:
‘the action of setting something on fire or starting to burn’-Ignition
Each IGNITION staged reading will be a chamber of ideas for the future production of the play. Through lighting the fires of live theater the production begins to take form. The cast molds as an ensemble, the mood and tone take shape, the audience falls in love with the story, and the play begins to IGNITE.
The event is open to those 16 and over. Those under 21 will need to pay a small cover charge.
