On the third Thursday of every month, Y-Not Theatre hosts Gainesville Playreaders at Third House Books in downtown Gainesville. A play selected by Paul Gabbard, the groups curator, is read in its entirety by attendees.

On November 10th, Gainesville Playreaders gathered for a special evening to Create in Place, promoting the idea that creativity is good for our health as individuals and as a community. Heartland by Gabriel Jason Dean was selected by Paul, who says that “Gainesville Playreaders is for everyone that acts directs, studies, writes, designs, works in or just attends the theatre.”
