This group performs for senior living facilities in the South Hills area . So what is Readers ’ Theater ? Well , the difference between theater and Readers ’ Theater is that there is no stage setting — the “ actors ” read from scripts ( so there is no memorizing of lines ). However , it is not merely reading : the actors do act and interact with each other , bringing scenes to life for the enjoyment of the audience . The group is always seeking new members so drop by a general meeting to learn more .
