My copyrighted screenplay "Hope Saves Manhattan " is ready for a Table read. I have the cast I don't have the space. I have made inquires to Shetler Studios as well as The Producers Club. The price is a little steep I am trying to stay at about $25 an hour for a 3 hour rental. There will be 22 actors, I would need (4) large tables and (30) chairs. If anyone knows of a place I would be grateful

22 Actors is a lot for table read. Why can't the Actors reads more than 1 part? I'd slash it down to less than 10 Actors .
The Brooklyn main Public library has conference rooms u can rent for free. not sure of their Hours of operation
Thank you for sharing.
Hi Steven. You could also try La MaMa (http://lamama.org/). Might be a little cheaper than Shetler.
SHETLER STUDIOS: 244 W 54th St #12, New York, NY 10019 Producers' Club Theaters is a black box theater worth looking at: 358 W 44th St, New York, NY 10036
Minos -- Did you read my post? In my text I mentioned both.
Steve- why do you need 22 Actors to read your script?
That is the cast 22 actors.

For any advice on Table Reads, please read this blog, Off The Page, The Anatomy Of A Table Read, by Robert, Rosenbaum who has experience in organising a table read and has some great tips, ideas and advice :) https://www.stage32.com/blog/OFF-THE-PAGE-The-Anatomy-of-a-Table-Read

I've done plenty of table reads... your actors will be bored. 2 or 3 tables? your Reading will get lost.. then u gotta deal with 22 egos. 22 people u have to wait for to show up. 22 headaches. all those minor roles can be read by 1 person.
Thank you for sharing. Best wishes on all your projects. With experience, strength and hope you will do well.
