Pass the beer, pass the play
Happy Year of the Tiger, readers!
We were so glad to ring in the Chinese New Year — and a new year of playmaking fun — with old and new friends at Local 16 a few weeks ago. Somewhere between 30 and 40 people showed up to have a beer and talk about plays on March 2nd. We were in good spirits because we had just launched our second national call for submissions. To date, we've received more than 180 plays, and we're expecting a lot more in this final week. (We're closing the call on March 21st. Playwrights, you have less than a week to send us your new work!)
Here are a few shots from my unsteady camera. No, I didn't have too much to drink (I don't think), but I'm just not the best with the camera. Where's our multi-talented Melissa Blackall when you need her?
While we were excited to meet and greet and drink and converse, we did have ulterior motives. We were looking for a few good readers, folks who love plays and want to help us review every single play we receive through our submissions process.
We're so pleased to say that our reader recruitment drive is a total and complete success. We have more than 50 people reviewing plays this year, more than doubling our precious corps of evaluators from last year. Thank you all so much, readers.
And we look forward to getting together with you in a few weeks... we'll be hosting another happy hour to celebrate all the reading you will have done. Stay tuned!
You can see two of The Inkwell's steering committee members in the shot above. That's Lee Liebeskind, Company Director, sitting at the table with the gray sweat shirt. And Lindsay Haynes, our fabulous submissions coordinator and Managing Director, is looking beautiful in blue.
