ERUUF Players

1st and 3rd Mondays 7:00-9:00pm

The ERUUF Players is a readers theater group (which means memorization is not required) with an interest in drama.  We learn dramatic skills through theater exercises and improvisation.  We encourage each other to write, direct and perform. We welcome experienced theater people as well as those who would like to explore this craft for the first time.
