The Bob McClure Chautauqua Play Readers is a group of dedicated volunteers in the greater Chautauqua community with a passion for play reading. Our season begins in early fall and runs throughout the winter and spring. The readers occasionally perform some of their best comedic material to the delight of audiences during the Chautauqua summer season.
Our venue for the 2024-2025 play reading season will be the Marion Lawrance room at Hurlbut Church. We are grateful for the opportunity for our community play readers and audiences to gather in this beautiful space.
The Bob McClure Chautauqua Playreaders was officially brought under the care of Friends of Chautauqua Theater in 2023. This collaboration has given FCT the proud distinction of being Chautauqua’s first year-round community group.
