We are looking to build a team of a broad range of people that can bring their own diverse stories, passions and interests to the script reading process. We are keen to hear from those who have read for West Yorkshire Playhouse or other venues before, but we are also looking to find passionate writers, theatre makers and audience members who we may not know or who may not have previous reading experience.
