Copenhagen Theatre Circle's Play Reading

A welcoming night of script reading

Come act, listen, or just enjoy the theatre vibes

Each month, we gather to read a play aloud — no stage, no pressure, no prior experience needed. You can take a role or simply enjoy the story as it unfolds. Whether you're a theatre fan, new in town, or just curious, our sessions are free and open to all. We'll share the script on the day — just bring a device to follow along.


What to expect

Read a part — or just listen

No acting experience needed. The goal is to read through a full play together, just for fun.

Scripts provided

Bring a phone or tablet; we’ll share a QR code at the event so you can download the script.

No public performance

This is a relaxed, social event for theatre lovers — not a staged show.

Friendly international crowd

Meet fellow theatre fans — all are welcome, including first-timers!

Under Pressure!

11 March 2026 @ 18:30

What happens when the world expects you to be someone you’re not?

In the same week that Lover Boy, our queer burlesque musical, takes to the stage, our March play reading explores the quiet tension between public appearances and private truths — the careful performances we give, the roles we adopt, and the pressure to fit neatly into the lives others imagine for us.

Set in a time of strict expectations and polite society, our script asks what it really costs to live authentically when conformity feels safer, simpler, and quietly expected. Beneath the civility and humour, there is something more fragile at stake: identity, love, and the courage to be seen as you truly are.

And don’t miss Lover Boy itself — overspilling with queer joy and running 10–15 March at Biblioteket Rentemestervej.
