URBAN
SCRAWLERS
A playwright’s
thing.
URBAN SCRAWLERS is a playwrights group that meets
weekly. Playwrights vary from seasoned,
with several productions to fledgling.
Within Urban Scrawlers, we have created a safe environment for
playwrights to work and have their pieces read and gently critiqued. Having good guidelines for commenting on
other’s work, is essential for an effective and vital writer’s group. If a writer feels he is being attacked or
made fun of, it is no longer a safe place and the creative process will not
proceed. I would like to see us work
toward a monthly reading series with actors lending their talent, and a small
audience, their reactions. This could be
done very informally. For a playwright,
hearing their words, experiencing the audience’s reaction to their words, is
the most valuable tool for them to rewrite
and move forward.
More to come.
