St. Louis Writers' Group begins it's 2012 reading and workshop series with "Waterboarding Dick" by local theater critic Richard Green
(www.talkinbroadway.com), who has also acted, written and directed in Saint Louis theater for most of the last 35 years. Actors and the audience are invited to supply feedback to the playwright after the readings
BLURB:
WATERBOARDING DICK A despised former vice-president and his wife race to complete their new memoirs, as part of their celebrity rehabilitation, upon leaving Washington DC. Complications arise when their lesbian daughter comes home with her new girlfriend, and political wills clash with hilarious, deadly results, all in the name of better book sales. 58 page script, four scenes with two sets (the second set being a stripped-down version of the first). Witty and polemical, without being too shouty, and an unexpectedly romantic ending.
TIME: Monday, February 6 at 6:30pm
PLACE: Big Daddy's, 1000 Sidney, St. Louis, MO. Big Daddy's is located at the corner of 10th Street and Sidney in Soulard. You can find a map of the location on our website.
There's no admission charge; refreshments and food may be purchased from the bar/restaurant.

St. Louis Writers' Group starts a stage reading program.
The St. Louis Writers' Group begins a Stage Reading Series this year. It will give writers an opportunity to experience a rigorous developmental process of readings and workshops, culminating with their script being presented on stage with movement (using limited props and set pieces) and performed by skilled actors. This experience will be an invaluable tool in getting a script polished and ready for marketing.
Our first stage reading will be "Icarus Wing" by Mario Farwell. It will be stage at the beautiful and dramatic Chapel Theatre, 6238 Alexander Drive, St. Louis, Missouri 63105. Performances will be March 16, 17 and 18 at 7:30 p.m.
