A donation of $8 is requested at the door ($5 for members of the Caltech Women's Club or Students).

If you plan to dine at the Athenaeum before the reading, your party should be seated by 5:30 pm. You may order before everyone in your party has arrived. You are welcome to join the Playreaders' table. Please consult with the Athenaeum website for reservations and the latest information regarding Athenaeum dining and COVID restrictions.

Readings usually run about two hours. Please plan to linger for discussion and refreshments.

The Caltech Women's Club and the Athenaeum sponsor the Playreaders. Please see this page for Caltech Women's Club events. All Caltech/JPL community members are welcome to participate.
