OUR 100^th SCRIPT-in-HAND!!

Hello Script-in-Hand Members,

Wow! It was virtually standing room only for our first meeting of the year last month. A great evening of new scripts were read with the help of talented actors and directors. We joined both experienced and emerging playwrights as their work came to life for the first time. More than one gem emerged, and no doubt we will see them produced at many a venue in the future. As usual all of us writers, actors, directors, and audience learned plenty about what works and what doesn’t in a script, and that’s the joy of Script-in-Hand. Everyone involved gives of their professional best and that’s what makes it so worthwhile. Our meeting this month consists of another seven brand new pieces of writing that are having their first moved, public reading. One of them will be our 100^th script read. Come along and enjoy.  It’ll be another great evening.

So, here’s the line up of your readings at the Script-in-Hand meeting at El Rocco Nightclub, 154 Brougham St, Kings Cross, Monday 18^th April 2011, starting at 7pm sharp.
