Mirrorbox Theatre expanding virtual play readings in 2021 This is director Cavan Hallman’s view of “The Violet Sisters,” the Sept. 4 offering in Mirrorbox Theatre’s Out the Box play reading series, allowing him to see the script as well as the actors. They are (from the top row) Jessica Link and Carrie Pozdol, both of Cedar Rapids, and Heather Chrisler of Chicago. Hallman, of Cedar Rapids, founded Mirrorbox Theatre in 2018 to present “Iowa-premiere plays as dramatic reflections on contemporary culture.” Out the Box moved Mirrorbox to an online format during the pandemic, presenting 32 readings, beginning with “Ghost Light” on March 20. The 2021 series will feature 40 free livestreamed play readings. (Cavan Hallman)
