36 episodes - English - Latest episode: 11 months ago - ★★★★★ - 1 rating

Barely There Theatre releases radio plays for free with behind-the-scenes rehearsal audio coming out in the following weeks. The plays will be polished pieces while the rehearsals will be mostly unmastered recordings of the rehearsal process. The goal is:

a) To produce plays people anywhere can access for free.

b) Give people an insight into what the creative process looks like for each project.

The plays themselves will be about… we don’t know yet. They’ll range in tone from funny to serious, quaint to existential, mature to not-so-mature. Down the road there may be more visual components to each podcast, but that’s a hurdle for another day.
