Tonight's TMPW session was packed with professional writers and Aurin Squire's "St. Augustine, FLA" is a script that is packed with characters and story development. When these two worlds came together, we had a blast envisioning the expansion
Arthur Holden's script, "The Falling Son," is delicate and rich and masterful. Written in verse - the kind of verse that is felt and not heard (like a current, as was mentioned in the workshop) - the parallel stories and depth of emotion that p

I love Jane Denitz Smith's work and her script "Go, Dog, Go" was no exception. If anything is thematic in Jane's work it is how recognizable the characters and emotions are. Somehow I always come away from her work thinking, "How did she know I
Steve Koppman's "Sensationally, You" is a blast of a script to read! It is subtle, direct and stormy all at once. It covers childhood angst, a sense of longing and is a true coming of age story.My thanks to John Gamel and John Byrne for helpi
Some days I feel luckier than lucky to have stumbled onto TMPW because I get to read so many scripts and workshop with such fun playwrights! Victor Wishna's script, "To The Dogs" is a script I would read again and again. It dives into topics of
Jefferson Navicky's "Devoe Street" cuts to the bone. It is raw and lucid and full of life. And, it hides, in the best ways. I won't give the end of the script away, or the end of the workshop... This is one workshop that stayed with me for days
If you're a father, or a son, or you know a father or a son, this play is for you! Nick Kloppenberg's "Pile of Bologna" is a wonderful exchange between a father and a son that drives to the heart of what it must be like to be in that relationsh
Brian Foster's "Future Box #400918" is an incredibly creative notion that gives one pause. And during that pause, we consider if we'd really want to go there, if we'd really want to be a part of the world Foster creates. The script was immediat
Barry Ernst's "Ass Backwards" is a poignant script about teenagers witnessing and responding to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.The workshop was almost as intense as the script - give it a listen! My thanks to Barry for sharing his s
With readers like Arthur Holden and Ellen Steves, we couldn't let this session go by! Thomas Heine's script, "Man in the Mirror" was workshopped without Thomas (scheduling conflict), but by the end of the piece, we knew we had to publish the wo

Helicopters, dorm rooms, the sometimes-not-so-subtle nudge and presence of parents in our lives -- Stefan Lanfer's script, "Expected Value" brings it all together.This is a great read, and we had a lot of fun putting it through a workshop ses
Lynn-Steven Johanson's "The Collision of Venus and Mars" is a hoot!Love, sex, the "what if" of the end of the world... it really has it all in there! We had a great time workshopping this script - my thanks to Lynn for sharing his script and
Tom Misuraca has done it again! His script, "Kiss My Astral Projection" is another fun and fast-paced script that tethers characters to each other in a way that makes me want to be a part of the cast!I'm going to keep this short, but encourag
