ABOUT WORDPLAY
Wordplay Audio Theatre produces, dynamic, exciting living performances of classic short fiction stories. Not your run of the mill audiobooks, Wordplay Audio Theatre’s recordings are performance pieces; the perfect meeting of literature and theatre, a “Marriage of Sound and Sense ™ “!

OUR PHILOSOPHY
Wordplay Audio Theatre uses professional actors to record short stories, but while most audio book companies instruct their readers to give a neutral read we urge our actors to create a performance! We are seeking a theatrical experience for our listeners, an interpretation of the story that moves us emotionally. To this end, we rehearse, and rehearse, and rehearse some more, but we record our stories “live”, without making any audio cuts or other edits, giving you a spontaneous, “living theatre” experience. Anything can happen in a Wordplay dynamic living reading; we try our best to get as close as we can to the experience of a live, theatrical performance!
