New Play Readings

Attention all amateur playwrights and theatre enthusiasts!

If you’re an aspiring playwright or enjoy hearing new plays, plan on attending one of Domino Theatre’s New Playwright Evenings where you will hear some of your favorite actors perform a reading of a new play by a local writer. Afterwards, join us for light refreshments and some lively discussion.

Have a draft of a play you’d like to have read at the Domino? Contact Details coming soon.

Upcoming Readings are posted on this page.

New Play readings take place at the Domino Theatre in the Davies Foundation Auditorium, 52 Church St. 

Admission is free, and feedback is encouraged.
Come and support your local playwrights.

Fat by Kate Barker

Fat – one woman looks back over the course of her plus-sized life.

Kate Barker is a Kingston writer who recently returned to playwrighting after 30 years. Her play Nutz won the People’s Preference award at Domino Theatre’s 2025 Come Play By the Lake One-Act Festival. Nutz returns this summer as a part of the TK Fringe Festival, August 6 – 16, 2026.
Fat is Kate’s first full-length play. It was recently workshopped in a course run by playwright Marcia Johnson through Toronto’s Tarragon Theatre.
