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 meetup hosted by Caffe Lena for local writers, actors, and directors.
The first Sunday of the month, 1:30–4:00pm. Doors open at 1:00pm, casting begins at 1:15pm, and readings start at 1:30pm.
Bring your great ideas, new scripts, edits, and friends for an inspiring afternoon of theater in the making.
- Playwrights should bring a highlighted script for each actor and one extra copy for stage directions.
- Bring a short scene (7–8 minutes). Cast actors from the audience, including fellow playwrights. Give them brief directions, then put them on stage to read your script. After each reading, everyone can give a “popcorn” reaction (one word!).
- Each meeting will include 6 or 7 scenes selected at random from those submitted. After the readings, there’ll be time to hang out and get acquainted.
- 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 undermine this goal. The host may enforce the house standards.
