The ACT Theatre will bring a unique reading experience to Sammamish of “The Pitmen Painters,” at 7 p.m., April 19 at the Sammamish Library.

This new play by Lee Hall, the Tony Award-winning writer of Billy Elliot, is based on a true story. The story follows a group of miners in northern England who take an art appreciation class start experimenting with painting and soon build an astonishing body of work that makes them the unlikeliest of sensations.

Sammamish residents looking for a fun, interactive experience are encouraged to volunteer as readers. No experience is necessary, and no rehearsals are required.

Interested individuals can contact the ACT Theatre to volunteer at kristina.sutherland@acttheatre.org.
