“I have worked as an actor for TAPT and also been an audience member of TAPT productions over the past year. They are a professionally and enthusiastically run theatre company which has the important function of fostering new and exciting playwriting and development, and are a high quality showcase for new and established acting talent and directors. I have been very pleased to have been associated with TAPT for two years now and they have my full support in their endeavors.”

2012 STAGED READING SERIES EVENTS
Our 2012 theme is judgment: How the views and rules of other affects our lives and the decisions we make.
TAPT produces stage readings of new plays with one classic piece, based on a common theme.
We have added the classical element this year as a way to reflect and acknowledge where we came from and why some plays resonate over time. At one time, it too was a new play. Our interaction with the audience begins with an opening reception. We have a performance and interactive discussion, then end with a social reception that includes the company and artists involved.
By embracing diversity we create a place where each of us, both artist and audience, can be ourselves and hold one another accountable to a higher standard of professionalism and respect. When our participants feel this sense of belonging, our productions become a safe haven free of judgment and full of possibility, opportunity and partnership; a place to create new colleagues and make new friends. TAPT is a place to grow beyond ourselves and reach for more.
People leave inspired, refreshed and more open to the world around them. Every participant is part of our community, and we take that responsibility seriously.

TAPT Staged Reading Event
TEN TINY FINGERS, NINE TINY TOES
by, Sue Townsend
Ten Tiny Fingers, Nine Tiny Toes explores a class society in pursuit of genetic perfection. Lower classes are banned from reproducing and only perfect specimens survive. The objective would result in the elimination of an entire classes of citizens. It explores the consequences of our search for perfection through the heartfelt struggle of our most precious givers of life: Mothers.
