The next Gulf Coast Playwrights Meet-and-Read will be held Wednesday, December 14 at 7pm at The Art Klub, and will feature the works of Martha Donegan and Frederick Mead.

Gulf Coast Playwrights Meet-and-Reads are gatherings in which writers bring their works-in-progress to be read aloud for feedback. We generally read sections that are 10 to 30 pages long, though we can read shorter and longer sections. Playwrights must have attended at least one Meet-And-Read before bringing in their work to be read. These can be cold table reads performed by whomever is there. Alternatively, playwrights can cast the reading in advance with actors of their choice and bring in a rehearsed version. The writers can also e-mail the script in advance to people who will be there so the readers can familiarize themselves with their parts without rehearsing it. One Meet-and-Read session is a prerequisite for having a Footlight Series Staged Reading.

The Art Klub is located in the St. Roch neighborhood. Art street is between Elysian Fields Ave and Franklin Ave. Cross-street is N Johnson St.
