Sunday, August 29th 5:30-7:30pm The Vortex, 2307 Manor Rd. (map) Members and their families, as well as area playwrights, actors, directors, designers, technicians, and those interested in finding out more about ScriptWorks are invited to the 13th Annual Meet N Greet. This is our annual party to kick-off the new year, welcome new members, swap summer triumphs and tribulations, and get informed about programming in the coming year. 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.

STEAL AWAY by John Lively Sunday, Feb. 28 at 6:30pm State Theatre, 719 Congress Ave. Steal Away tells the story of a young couple intrinsically connected but separated by East Texas race relations. Charlamaine and Tommy fall in love and live out their secret tryst under the cover of a hidden bayou. As the narrative unfolds, the outside world, with all their social mores encroaches upon their relationship with tragic consequences. Part Our Town and part Romeo and Juliet, Steal Away expresses fundamental truths measured beyond the known distinctions of race, color and creed.
