(see announcement and details below.)
Sorry if you’re already a member of the DG and this is a repeat announcement.

to check in with the DG Director of Membership person, Roland Tec:  rtec@dramatistsguild.com

This is open to everyone, you do NOT need to be a member of the Dramatists Guild to attend.
Please help get the word out and meet your fellow Boston-area playwrights.

February 27th, 2013 by

Please join us for an evening with Kate Snodgras from 6:30 to 8:00 at Lasell College in the Winslow Sargent Room 201 on March 10, 2013. Kate is Artistic Director of Boston Playwrights’ Theater and a professor of play writing at Boston University as well as the Producer of the Boston Theatre Marathon. She has asked that attendees come with ideas that they have for full length plays they would like to write, that are not fully developed yet, and will have an interactive dialog with us around these ides as well as play writing in general. We had a great time with Kate when she joined us last year. Please RSVP to me by March 9, 2013 by replying to this email so we can have an accurate count of who will be attending. I will order pizza and we will have soft drinks. Phyllis, please pass this along to the AIR membership as well. It should be a fun and informative evening and we look forward to seeing you all there. Following Kate will be a reading of a play by Hortense.
