Our Library Series Returns!
Santa Monica Rep is beyond excited to announce that our playreading series - in partnership with the Santa Monica Library - will be back in 2025!
This long-standing collaboration (which has always been free and open to the public) was the first offering Santa Monica Rep ever made to our audience back in 2010. It’s where we began our tradition of hosting talkbacks after each performance, and it’s where we first came together as a company and theatrical community.
First Up!
The Grapes of Wrath
based on the novel by
John Steinbeck
adaptation by
Frank Galati
This FREE staged reading kicks off the return of our Summer Reading Series in collaboration with the Santa Monica Public Library. As relevant today as when it was published in 1939 we follow the Joad family fleeing famine and poverty, across the country in search of the American Dream. After the performance, stay for the SMRT signature 'talk back' that invites conversation anchored by our shared experience. The event is appropriate for folks fourteen and above, it is FREE to attend, RSVP is commended.
Saturday, May 24th 1pm
MLK Auditorium
Santa Monica Public Library
601 Santa Monica Blvd.
We hope we can count on your support as we look ahead to continuing this powerful series in 2025. We can’t wait to celebrate Santa Monica Rep’s 15th year of creating engaging, challenging, funny, topical theatre. We have an exciting slate of projects, including a new, hyper-local play about a Santa Monica family by our very own Artistic Director, Tanya White.
And while we know that there are many worthwhile organizations seeking your support, we hope you’ll continue to show how much you value live, local theatre. We can’t do it without you, and we can't wait to see you in 2025!
