Integrated in the development process of each play is a reading series that will offer classic literature to communities all over Southern California. Question and Answer sessions will follow each reading, offering the audience the opportunity to give feedback to the playwrights and to discuss the relevance of each play to its source material.

The 2009 Wicked Literature Play Reading Series will debut on October 1st and encompass theatres, libraries and bookstores throughout the region. There is no admission fee to attend the readings, and reservations are not required.

The plays featured for the 2009 Reading Series include:

The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe ~ Adapted by Paul Millet
