Greenhouse play reading Series
Now in its third season, the reading series has a new name!
In the past two seasons, we’ve watched the series cultivate so much—plays, playwrights, actors, directors, and audience members.
The series feels like the Jungle’s greenhouse—a warm, verdant space where art and people can thrive. Readings take place in the theater and are always available for free (with a new option to support the series and purchase a season package) and open to all. Please join us!
NEW! Our Greenhouse Play Reading Series will offer Open Captions for all readings.
TICKETS - Starting at $0
Our Greenhouse Play Reading Series offers FREE tickets to everyone! We want to share these stories with everyone in our community and we hope you join us for these readings.
Patrons who wish to support the series a step further than their attendance can choose one of our paid options for their ticket.
