blaemire: A LITTLE MORE ALIVE

[astramachina]

. . .

Things I did not expect today, the 16th of December: an email informing that my play is now a national semifinalist and that I am expected to attend a week-long conference out of state with other playwrights and I'm.

Huh.

Huh.

Holy shit?

Winning would guarantee me a spot in the Dramatists Guild of America.

I'm.

Hello?!

"Welcome to the Theatre": Diary of a Broadway Baby

Songs from Women at the Table

March 4, 2024 | 54 Below | Evening | Cabaret | 1H 25M

A night celebrating women, by women, for women, all the women. Members of the Dramatist Guild put on a wonderful night of songs showcasing female writers in the theatre community, performing well-known hits such as "Back to Before," from Ragtime, songs coming to Broadway this season like "Keep Marching," from Suffs to many new numbers from works in progress. All this hosted by Amanda Green, president of the guild, and Christine Toy Johnson, treasurer.

Verdict: A Lovely Night

Here is a piece created from an interview she gave to Ruth Goetz, originally published in the Winter 1988 edition of The Dramatists Guild Quarterly (the predecessor to #TheDramatist).

Tues. May 2, 2023: WGA Strike

Tuesday, May 2, 2023 Waxing Moon Mercury and Pluto Retrograde Rainy and chilly The WGA Strike began as of 12:01 this morning. I blocked 47 anti-WGA trolls on Twitter. Before 8 AM. Those who called themselves “writers” are on a list, so I know never to read or purchase anything they do. A lot of those posting anti-WGA material know nothing about how the industry works and thinks all writers…
