The Gospel of John Readers’ Theatre

In readers’ theatre, participants read the various roles of a script while sitting and standing, without physical gestures or props or sets. It takes a minimum of eleven readers to do this with the Gospel of John. The experience can offer a whole new perspective on the stories, as we find ourselves taking on various roles and speaking and listening differently than ever before.

The reading takes three hours and includes two ten-minute intermissions. Those who join will be able to choose whether they read a larger part or smaller part or (if we have enough people present) simply be part of the audience. It is not hard to know what to read and when, as you’ll receive a script version of the story with your parts pre-highlighted.
