About

Looking for an opportunity to connect with local writers, actors, and directors? Want to share a theater piece you’re writing?

Join us for the 1st Sunday monthly Playwright’s Jams!

A monthly meetup hosted by Caffe Lena for local writers, actors & directors.

The First Sunday of the Month, 1:30pm-4:00pm.

Doors open at 1:00; casting begins at 1:15pm and readings start at 1:30pm!

Bring your great ideas, your new scripts, your edits and your friends for an inspiring afternoon of theater in the making.

  • Playwrights should bring a highlighted script for each of their actors and one extra copy for stage directions.
  • Bring a short scene (7-8 minutes). Cast your actors from the audience, including your fellow playwrights. Give them brief directions and then put them on stage to read your script.
  • We’ll go around the room after the reading and let everyone give a “popcorn” reaction (one word!).
  • Each meeting will include 6 or 7 scenes selected at random from those submitted. After the readings we’ll have time to hang out and get acquainted.
  • This event will be co-hosted by Michael Wells-Oakes and Vivian Nesbitt.

Playwright Nice! We foster a diverse community that has a great time making art and helping one another get better. Excessive profanity, explicit sexual themes and “humor” that unkindly targets a specific group undermines this goal. It is up to the discretion of the host to enforce the house standards.
