Tim O’Connor

Reader’s Theatre is directed by Tim O’Connor, well known for his television acting on Peyton’s Place and Buck Rogers in the 21st Century.  When asked why he chose these specific stories, Tim said, “Well, when I began to choose stories, they began to fall into a category of street action, with police involved… imitation of life events, about how hearty life can be in the oddest way, and how it affects our lives.”

Gaylie Bell-Stewart

Reader’s Theatre has been called many things including Theatre of the Mind and Interpreters Theatre.   For the audience, the Reader’s Theatre experience is one of involvement.  The audience participates with its imagination to provide the sets, costumes, and props.  Skilled voice actors cause the audience to experience literature as they do.
