Play Reading Festival: A Celebration of Barrington Playwrights

Join PPTC for this three-night Play Reading Festival celebrating the work of talented local playwrights from Barrington

Each night will shine a spotlight on a different playwright, presenting a directed and rehearsed reading of their play. This unique event offers audiences a rare opportunity to witness fresh, original stories from voices in their own community. From gripping dramas to heartfelt comedies, each evening promises to deliver a distinct theatrical experience. After each reading, there will be a discussion, inviting the audience to engage with the playwrights, directors, and actors. Come celebrate local talent, discover new stories, and connect with the creative voices shaping our community’s artistic landscape.

Winning Isn't Everything

What happens when a quirky family thinks they’ve hit the jackpot? Winning Isn’t Everything is a sharp, laugh-out-loud comedy about one unforgettable evening in the life of Ernie, a lovable curmudgeon with a knack for chaos, and his eccentric family.

As tensions rise over a supposedly winning lottery ticket, secrets are spilled, dreams are shared, and a bizarrely magical neighbor keeps everyone guessing. Will the family tear each other apart-or come together when it matters most?

Packed with witty dialogue, heartwarming twists, and characters you’ll love to root for (and laugh at!), this staged reading promises an evening of big laughs and even bigger surprises. Don’t miss this delightfully hilarious look at what really makes a family rich!
