mixed MESSages

The Reading Theater Project has announced the company’s next production: a collage of several plays and solo performances entitled “mixed MESSages.”

Performances will be at 8 p.m. nightly Thursday, November 18, through Saturday, November 20, and at 2 p.m. on Sunday, November 21, at The WCR Center for the Arts, 140 N. 5th Street in Reading.

Tickets for all performances are pay-what-you-will, with a recommended price of $20 per person. Proof of vaccination and masks are required for all. More information can be found at

This production is funded by a grant from Berks County Community Foundation.

This production’s themes were developed by the creative artists associated with the Reading Theater Project. After several brainstorming sessions, local playwrights submitted scripts, all related to the idea of mess or mixed messages. The production features local performers and playwrights.

“How do you know who to trust, what to believe, where the truth lies? Mixed MESSages explores these questions through realistic scenes, absurd musical numbers, and everything in between,” said Vicki Haller Graff, Artistic Director. “As the world is re-awakening, many of us are asking ourselves these questions. Asking through theater helps us process together.”
