Corona Cold Reads: The CCR Reunion
Friday, 14 November, 2025
During the COVID-19 lockdowns, to deal with isolation and lack of live theatre, we started gathering some of our favourite people every Tuesday & Saturday night to read scripts over Zoom. We read all 38 Shakespeare plays in six months. Then we kept going. We decided to create mini-seasons featuring highlights from the canons of major writers across generations, plus a few bonus episodes thrown in. All of our readings are available to enjoy as full videos on our YouTube page but we’re also releasing them in audio form so they can be accessed through your favourite podcast app. Though our regularly scheduled programming has come to an end, the CCR troupe reunited on December 11, 2021 for an Indie Playwrights Marathon. Over the course of one afternoon/evening, we read three new (or new-ish) works from local Toronto independent playwrights, including two of our own troupe members. When I asked CCR mainstay Scott Garland if he had any writing projects he could submit for this event, he decided to write something brand new! The result is a goofy, love-filled parody of the Corona Cold Reads group with personalized roles for every cast member. CLICK HERE to subscribe to our podcast on iTunes so you don’t miss an episode.
