rehearsed readings

Rehearsed readings are organized performances where actors read a script aloud together, often with minimal staging or movement. They focus on interpreting the dialogue and understanding the text, allowing creators to see how the story flows and identify areas for revision. Usually used in the early stages of developing a play or project, rehearsed readings provide a practical way to share the work with an audience or team, gather feedback, and refine the script before full production. They combine elements of a staging and a workshop, emphasizing spoken delivery and narrative clarity.
