The Uwharrie Reader’s Theatre is The Uwharrie Players new program to give an easy way for new people to get involved, but also a fun way for regular UP members to get another way to perform. No memorization is needed, you’ll be reading from the script. There will be a few rehearsals because it is still a performance, not just a reading. The Uwharrie Reader’s Theatre will also provide a chance to do some possibly more edgy plays and try out new plays before they go to the main stage with The Uwharrie Players. 

The other purpose of the Uwharrie Reader’s Theatre is to travel to bring performances to other parts of Stanly County. We want everyone in Stanly County to know The Uwharrie Players is for all of Stanly County, not just Albemarle.

​These performances will be free!

Respected, self-made businessman Joe Keller prides himself on providing for his wife and their two sons. During the war, Joe and his business partner, Steve Deever, made airplane parts, but Deever went to prison for selling cracked cylinder heads to the Air Force, causing the deaths of 21 pilots.Now, years later, Joe’s true culpability begins to surface, and he suddenly faces the consequences of his actions. His son Larry went missing during the war, and his other son, Chris, is engaged to Ann Deever, Steve’s daughter. When Ann's brother George returns from the service, accusations and revelations threaten the safety and happiness of the Keller family, raising questions of ethics, patriotism and personal responsibility.
