Writers Reading Series – These
are held frequently throughout the year. WIT members are given
preference for casting, while non-members may be cast as needed. The
format may follow a reading or staged reading of the script with a discussion
of the theatrical piece following. Scripts are picked in advance. WIT
is not a producing organization per se, but we strive to provide educational
and developmental opportunities for both male/female writers to advance
their work in readings or related programs. Efforts are included
to allow active WIT members, beginning or advanced playwrights, to expand
their work.
