HOW I LEARNED TO SWIM by Somebody Jones Jamie is taking on her biggest fear, the ocean. With the help of a chipper swim instructor, a shady spiritual guide and one cathartic crab sandwich, she’s questioning, ‘how many lengths will wash away regret?’

Let dead playwrights be dead for a bit. We don’t need 20 adaptations of a dead white mans play in the same year

After watching @ScriptsByRose do the 100 rejections challenge every year, I've finally decided to do it The idea is to track how many rejections/submissions you get/do a year. I love the idea of actually seeing what you applied to Here's to 100 rejections/submissions in 2023!

If I had a £/$ for every play I’ve read in the last month where a character just randomly starts rapping . . .

I'm begging to see more positive (or at least complicated) Black & Brown dad representation on stages I want goofy B&B dads, nerdy B&B dads, etc. I wana see B&B dads LOVE on their kids, be funny, and not always be the villain Is that possible?
