Austin Script Works is now ScriptWorks

In recognition of the expansion of our services to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area and acknowledgment that our members are spread across the country, Austin Script Works is now ScriptWorks. The organization will retain Austin Script Works as its legal name but has filed the appropriate paperwork to do business as ScriptWorks. Executive Director Christina J. Moore says "We're very excited about expanding our programming to the Dallas - Fort Worth area, and since about a quarter of our membership lives outside of Austin, now is the perfect time to change our name to reflect our reality."

The event is free and open to all. We'll will provide libations and attendees are invited to bring their favorite finger food to the potluck. (At 8pm, all are invited to attend the Vortex production of B-boy bluez by ScriptWorks Core Alum Zell Miller, III.) This party has no narrative through-line and no inciting incident, so drop by anytime and rub elbows and egos with the local bards.

Writing the Impossible Saturday, June 26 2-4pm Dougherty Art Center 1110 Barton Springs Road Cost: $20 for ASW/ $35 for non-members Playwright Jose Rivera encourages us to include at least one impossible thing in each of our plays. In the play that you are writing or even just thinking about, what is your one impossible thing? What *can* it be? We’ll study Rivera’s “36 Assumptions About Playwriting,” and specifically the idea of impossibility. The workshop will also include writing exercises to make room for impossibility in character, dialogue, scene direction and events.
