The Drama Circle @ The Village Lyceum solicits original scripts for readings and possible productions

The Drama Circle, which was originally started at Mount Wachusett Community College in the 1990s, will be moving to the Village Lyceum in Petersham during the summer of 2018, according to Genevieve Fraser, the long-standing artist director. Fraser holds an undergraduate degree in Communications and Theater from the University of New Hampshire, Durham, and an MFA in Theater/Writing from Brandeis University. 

"Dedicated to original works for the stage and screen, we invite writers to submit their scripts for possible readings and will occasionally have readings of classical works. Eventually, we hope to select certain scripts for staged readings and workshop productions. But whether read or staged, writers must provide their own scripts for readers and actors," Fraser stated.  

The Drama Circle is and has always been free and open to the public; however, cash donations and sponsorships are gratefully accepted. They will be used to help defray costs associated with maintaining the Davis Memorial and Unitarian Church where readings and productions will be held.

Scripts should be sent for consideration to the Drama Circle @ The Village Lyceum, First Congregational Parish, Unitarian Petersham, POB 305, Petersham, MA 01366.  For further information, contact Genevieve Fraser at FraserGenevieve@gmail.com or telephone (978) 544-1872.
