QCT Announces First Play Reading of 2026
Quincy Community Theatre (QCT) is pleased to announce a new programming initiative in 2026, offering audience and volunteers the chance to experience three additional plays. Each reading will feature script-in-hand performers with no sets, costumes, or props. It gives audiences the chance to experience contemporary and new works.
On January 23, QCT will present MIDDLETOWN by Will Eno. MIDDLETOWN is a deeply moving and funny play exploring the universe of a small American town. As a friendship develops between longtime resident John Dodge and new arrival Mary Swanson, the lives of the inhabitants of Middletown intersect in strange and poignant ways in a journey that takes them from the local library to outer space and points between. MIDDLETOWN is in response to the classic OUR TOWN.
Actors participating in the reading are Shobi Martin, Jessica Snider, Nicole Herrington, Tim Hake, Olivia Jones, Michele McCormack, Alta King, Rachel Brown, and Lily Vajgrt. Quinton Metcalf will direct.
This program is free to attend. Seating is limited, and reservations are strongly encouraged.
This play features mature content and language and is recommended for adults only.
