Studio Cafe style events are, according to WLST member Curt Sprickerhoof who served as the unofficial emcee of Script Reading Night, something the WLST plans to do more of in 2020, in addition to their usual lay lineup. These may include 10 Minute Play or Movie Nights and he encouraged anyone interested in attending to give the Williams lake Studio Theatre Society’s Facebook page a follow.
