Rooftop Reading Series

The Rooftop Reading Series is a developmental lab to foster new works from emerging artists, and a way to meet and form relationships with our community! This can include musicals, plays, essays, sketch comedy, songwriting and more! Each installment can look very different than the last, and we encourage each artist to use the opportunity however they feel is best for the next step of their show!
