CCA Presents: The Reading Room
A Virtual Table Read & Script Development Series
The Reading Room is a new initiative by Casting Calls America (CCA) designed to connect writers and actors through collaboration and live performance.
Each cycle, six scripts will be selected to participate in this creative series. Each chosen script will receive its own dedicated virtual table read, scheduled once per month over a six-month period. Every reading is cast entirely through the CCA platform. The virtual reading will be then be organized, recorded, edited, and published by CCA on its YouTube channel.
This is not a competition, it’s a creative workshop space. Writers are encouraged to submit rough or in-progress scripts, and actors help bring those stories to life in a recorded read-through format. The goal is to let writers hear their work performed, receive valuable feedback, and grow their craft. All while providing actors a chance to perform, network, and showcase their skills in front of an engaged creative audience.
Join us in The Reading Room as we bring scripts off the page and into performance..
Six scripts will be selected to be featured in The Reading Room. Each chosen script will be performed in one of six monthly showcases, bringing the writer’s work to life with actors and a workshop discussion.
Selected writers receive:
- A full virtual table read of their script.
- Constructive written feedback from the participating actors and the judging panel.
- A professionally edited recording of the reading, featured on CCA’s YouTube channel.
- Promotion across CCA’s social media and newsletter platforms.
Writers whose scripts are not selected will still receive detailed written feedback from the judging panel, providing valuable insight to strengthen their work for future opportunities.
