June 2 - Playwrights Collaborative Meeting
at California Stage
At the Sunday, June 2, Playwrights Collaborative Meeting (7:00 PM) we will read and discuss Elise Hodge's "After Hours." Strangers brought together by relatives with cancer spend a momentous evening together at their local hangout, After Hours. One will loose a loved one, one celebrates the loss of a loved one, one gets to take a loved one home, and one leads them all through their grief or happiness, but she's the one who needs their love and guidance the most.
This workshop is at the California Stage Theatre, 2509 "R" Street (on "R" Street between 25th and 26th Streets), Sacramento.
The Playwrights Collaborative thanks the California Stage Theater Company for the use of its theater.
For further information or if you have a play you would like workshopped, contact Gary Agid, chairman, at gary@agid.com (916-383-9267) .
Workshops are monthly (or occasionally twice monthly) on Sundays on dates to be announced. There are no dues, fees or other charges for participating.
Staged readings may be scheduled occasionally by playwrights.

"The Playwrights Collaborative is an organization of writers, actors, directors and others interested in the theater, working together to promote the development and production of new plays in Sacramento and elsewhere. Through a cooperative process of peer review, Playwrights Collaborative assists in making plays ready for production and helps in finding suitable venues where shows might be performed."
WORKSHOPS: At each workshop, original plays by local writers are read and discussed as are ways to promote deserving works for production. Several theaters have expressed an interest in producing one new original play per year and Playwrights Collaborative has encouraged similar interest by other theatres in the area. There will also be occasional speakers with expertise in various aspects of theater.
STAGED READINGS: Playwrights participating in the Sunday workshops will be scheduling occasional "staged readings" of plays that have been developed sufficiently to be ready for production. A staged reading is a play production with the actors holding scripts.
Playwrights Collaborative invites interested writers and actors to attend and take part in the workshop readings which can lead to invitational staged readings of new works. The group actively promotes new plays to prospective producers. Following each reading, comments and suggestions for improvement will be solicited from all who are present.
The Playwrights Collaborative does not share its e-mail list information with anyone.
Thistle Dew Playwrights Workshop
The Unique Thistle Dew Dessert Theatre, 1901 P Street, Sacramento, CA, the members of Sacramento's Original Playwright Workshop, KTDT, and our new theatre ensemble, (tentatively entitled) "Act up, ladies!" will be carrying on at various times during the week, more specifically (see below): Saturday from 10:00am - noon and 1:00 - 4:00, Monday from 7pm - 9pm, Thursday from 7pm - 9pm.
AUDITIONS for KTDT Digital Radio Theatre every time we meet. Drop-in, please. We will be casting several voice over actors for characters varying in ages, sex, geographic accents (British, St. Paul, Venus, Pomeranian, Biloxi, Moscow, Mars, Brooklyn, Belarus, Boston, et cetera).
REHEARSALS for KTDT Digital Radio Theatre (Under Construction.): Saturday from 1:00 - 4:00, Monday from 7pm - 9pm, Thursday from 7pm - 9pm.
("Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear... .")
Everyone is invited to watch and perhaps, if you are interested (or not), we will recruit you to voice over a small part. The series of radio plays has a cast of hundreds, which means we will need hundreds of readers. The plays call for no more than five characters on stage at one time. The rest of the cast will be in the dressing room. (I'm not kidding! In our tiny dressing room.) Today's technology allows us to shrink and compress them to fit on discs and "thumb drives".
SATURDAY MORNING 10 - 12. Original play readings and critique.
The Thistle Dew Playwright Workshop will be reading and critiquing a new series of original plays for "Act up, ladies!" and original radio plays submitted by playwrights from around the world. Because workshopping a play is not an easy process, we need your expertise and your many talented voices to create, organize and read plays. Space and time can be shrunk or stretched, fantastic worlds can be created, marvelous journeys can be taken. The Thistle Dew Playwright Workshop provides a laboratory setting for writers, actors and audiences to explore the limits of the creative expression, presentation and interpretation of a unique art form: playwriting. Workshopping frees the writer and the reader from the physical limitations of conventions, letting the imagination soar. By one definition our workshop is a discussion group. By another, it is a factory. According to most lexicons it is a process by which a dramatic or comedic play is read, and by means of improvisation and intensive group discussion, aspects of the production, are explored before formal rehearsals and final staging begin. To accomplish this we need seasoned and novice actors, voice over specialists and beginners and readers to read, critique and present our plays. We have many dialogues requiring different voices, accents, etc. We may even convince you that you can write a play! A monologue. Or even a three minute play. You could be a part of a fun group.
Come, enjoy the magic of theater! For more information, please contact us at 916-457-6286, or email Tom seamusoshea12@gmail.com.

Instructor: Courtney Anderson; At the age of three, while watching her father emcee a barbershop dinner show, Courtney jumped down from her chair, walked up onto the stage where her dad was standing and gently tugged at his coat to get his attention. Surprised by this tug on his jacket, her father laughed and introduced his daughter to the audience. Courtney stood there with her hand pointing at the microphone and assertively said, "...My turn." Taking the microphone from her dad's hand, she promptly walked to the end of the stage, sat down, and began to sing "The Itsy Bitsy Spider." At the end, the audience giggled and applauded as her dad tried to retrieve the microphone, but Courtney continued to sit there and said, "No, do again!" And so, she sang it again. After this performance, Courtney's parents realized their daughter's uncanny ability to entertain an audience, and enrolled her into singing and piano lessons, both classical and jazz, and various singing groups throughout the years. Later, in college, she also developed a love for guitar and ukulele, accompanying herself on many shows. Courtney continues to pursue her love of music at Sacramento State University where, after completed four years of Vocal Jazz training, she recently switched her major to Music Management. Outside of teaching at the McLaughlin Studios, Courtney sings alto for the VoCALs -a 50's do-wop group, and bass in the Region 12, 3rd place champion, Sweet Adeline Quartet 'Anticipation!' When asked why Courtney wants to pursue music, her response is always the same, "I want to make a difference in the world and music is the best vehicle I can think of...it's hard to be angry or upset when you're singing.
