One True Thing

We’ll have the live reading for January at the Salisbury Art Space 7:30-8:30 Friday, Jan. 19. We’re still accepting submissions for February.

Following the wild success of our Christmas Carol presentation, we want to start producing more dramatic readings. If you are or know a playwright who would like to submit a play for production, please reach out.

Year in Review

If you have anything you published last year that you’d like to share, please respond here. I’ll repost everything I get.

I’ll keep it short this week, knowing I’ll be back in the new year. Members should look out for an agenda late next week. Any suggestions or additions, just let me know.

Best,

Tony
