"My brain and heart are still spinning. THIS IS THE THEATRE I MISS! Thank you for this journey." - Angela D.

Meet Your Contestant: Lynda!

She’s everything a game show champion should be: confident, charming, willing to follow the rules.
She has a winning smile and we should all cheer for her!

Anise Rau brings warmth to the role of Lynda in The Game Show: A Staged Reading & Talkback.

Meet Your Contestant: Greta!

She’s sharp. She’s focused. She’s… asking a few too many questions.

Will she beat the ever more impossible odds, or will the game beat her?
Don’t miss Meg Carleton as the spirited Greta in The Game Show: A Staged Reading & Talkback.

Its Simple. Just play the game.
