ABOUT THEY’RE NAKED, THEY’RE UGLY AND THEY OWE US MONEY
This feminist comedy is about a theatre company forced to rehearse in a decrepit biker clubhouse when the last rehearsal space in town closes. The story takes us on a magical journey that is a love letter to an art form that is struggling but refuses to die. It’s funny, it’s angry, it’s theatre! This is a new, unproduced play by local actor and writer Susinn McFarlane.
ABOUT SUSINN McFARLEN

Reading Theatre is created for those with a passion for live theatre. A live play reading of iconic plays over the ages. All are welcome and encouraged — from the seasoned professional to the inquisitive amateur and everyone in between.
Show up and read, or listen to others read these incredible shows. A short discussion may take place…or not. This is an event led by the cast and audience.
Readers will be chosen just before the play reading begins and will be cast by those who show up and express an interest in being involved. Some roles may be double cast.
This event is being led by Allan Morgan, Senior Artist in Residence and Vancouver theatre scene stalwart. We’d love to see you there!
