Playwright’s Jam

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 1:00pm; casting begins at 1:15pm; 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 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.
• After the reading we’ll go around the room 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 there will be 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.
