Starkville Community Theatre continues its exciting series of literary events called Fourth Fridays. This is an open forum for area writers who want to have their works read by volunteers and discussed on the mainstage at SCT. The events are open to the public and happen on the fourth Friday of each month.

These informal, unrehearsed, script-in-hand readings are meant to serve as a useful tool for writers who would benefit by hearing their works read out loud--and by hearing feedback from the community and the readers. They also provide an opportunity for community members to hear literary works in progress and be an integral part of their development.

Dates for the 2010 Spring Fourth Friday Events are:

  • January 22nd- Playwrighting

  • February 26th - Monologues/Microfiction (up to 1,000 words)

  • March 26th - Short Fiction

  • April 23rd - Poetry

Fourth Friday events will start at 7:00 p.m.. Whether you come as readers or as audience members, bring your enthusiasm and join us in encouraging innovative writing here in Starkville.
