Midwest Dramatists Fundraiser

Tonight I attended a fundraiser at the Midwest Dramatists Center at the Writer's Place. I got to see a friend from college, the amazing Bree Elrod, and wrote a very small script that she got to act in. I had no idea that such a group existed to support local playwrights and writers. Currently, they are working on configuring the downstairs into a more workable blackbox space. I would highly consider giving to this organization as part of your end of year giving. For more information on the Midwest Dramatists Center, please visit www.midwestdramatists.org - It was well worth the $30 donation and local theatre lovers should attend if they have another!

Brick Street Theatre Company Playwright Workshop 1

Today I workshopped two plays - "Fly Loft" (Full Length) & "Blood & Water in Topeka" (1 Act). I was able to get good criticism and feedback to move the plays to the next stages of rewrites. 

I am writing two one act plays for the 365 women a year: a Playwriting project. I am creating a one act about Henrietta Lacks and a one act about Michelle Obama. 

It's great to hear your writing spoken, to finally hear the critiques move down to more nitpicking changes than large adjustments. "Blood & Water in Topeka" will most likely be a fringe festival submission. 

More next week.
