Josh Drimmer: Playwright in Brooklyn, New York.

Hi all, Never properly introduced myself, but apparently this is a good time for that. I'm a Brooklyn-based playwright and occasional screenwriter. I write plays because I love dialogue, immediacy, and the ability theater has above other media to transform in the process of manifestation as a script becomes a director's notes becomes an actor's lines becomes a play. Joseph Papp once said that every playwright writes the same play over and over again; Mr. Papp wasn't entirely wrong, but at the very least I'm doing my damndest to write that same play in different ways every single time, from romance to dystopia to blank verse to absurdism. I'm trying here, Joe, I really am. My goal is create large-hearted dramatic comedy and comedic drama that will surprise and provoke the two truest audience responses: a laugh and a gasp. I'm aiming to reach an audience ready to enter the little worlds I've created for them, knowing they will be entertained but also left with lingering feelings, questions, sensations that will not leave them for weeks to come. Some of my works are large-cast, but I don't write thankless roles. Some of my works are small-cast, but no matter how small-scale they might be, they aren't small. It's a pleasure to be around you all.

Hi Josh, Nice surprise hearing from you this way. Break a leg tonight! Wishing you as successful and creative 2016!!! Mark Levine

Hi Josh. I'm RB, Founder and CEO of Stage 32. As a screenwriter, producer, actor and filmmaker, I know first-hand the challenges all creatives face finding work, landing representation, launching projects, securing funding and simply making the connections that will make a difference in their careers. That's why I created Stage 32. Since our launch in September of 2011, the community has grown to 400,000+ members representing every country on the planet making Stage 32 the social network uniquely populated with the most creative people on Earth.

This is a network for you, built by you. Like most things in life, the more you participate, the greater the rewards. We ask all new members to pay it forward by inviting 5 fellow creatives to the network and by spreading the word of Stage 32 through other social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. The more creatives, the stronger the network. The stronger the network, the more opportunities.

Thanks for joining the movement and for being a part of this most talented and inspiring community. I very much look forward to your contributions.

Thanks, and have a creative day!

RB
