Q
I’ve had a look through your website and have a fairly good idea of what you’re about. However I still have some questions.

Fire Away.
Q
COVID?

Q
How does Muskoka Players differ from other professional groups?
A
Quite simply: we bring the theatre to you. Theatre is story telling. Therefore one could make the case that there has been theatre in Muskoka since the first indigenous peoples told tales around a campfire. You supply the “campfire”. We supply the “tale”.
Q
What is a staged reading?
A
The only difference between a staged reading and a full blown performance is that the actors remain in a set position and, as the name suggests, read from a script. In the hands of professionals a staged reading loses nothing in the translation and, as previous audiences have observed, they feel in a way more complicit with the actor. “It’s like getting a look behind the curtain.”
