Live Stage Readings of Unproduced Screenplays by WGAE Members Joe Greenberg and Sidney Karger
Join us as two WGAE members will have their previously unproduced feature screenplays professionally directed and staged with actors live at Lincoln Center. The staged readings will feature selections from a comedy and a drama script.
The staged drama reading will be…
CAPSULE, written by Joe Greenberg
An astronaut test piloting the first lightspeed drive is stranded trillions of miles from home. Starving, and with only the ship’s AI for company, he slides into paranoid psychosis. So much so that when the rescue team finally arrives, he questions their true intentions.
The staged comedy reading will be…
IT’S NOT YOU, IT’S US, written by Sidney Karger
A married couple’s life spirals out of control when they decide to break up with their obsessive new best friends. A comedic FATAL ATTRACTION with two couples.
The readings will be cast by Bettina Bilger and directed by WGAE member Justin Carter. Former WGAE President Michael Winship will conduct interviews with the writers following each reading.
The winning scripts were anonymously selected from among dozens of submissions judged by a panel of Guild members. Our congratulations to the finalists Pratima Mani, Michael Mau, Isaac Oliver and Joe Vinciguerra.
Seating is first come, first served for this event.
