THEATER / STREAMING / STRIKE Women in Media
With establishment theaters canceling programming mid-season, the real and imagined threat of AI and the Writers Guild reaching a deal to end the strike, there’s so much to unpack. We'll hear from women writers sharing insights into what it means to write across platforms. Join us for an hour-long conversation and audience Q&A, kicking off our 5th Annual Playreading Festival - moderated by Writer/Producer Paula Killen

WORLD PREMIERE
We are celebrating the festival’s 5th year with the world premiere of Artistic Director Tanya White’s full length play LEMON YELLOW KITCHEN. A Santa Monica family is literally haunted by a past they are unaware of until it threatens to take their home. Suddenly their comfort and confidence is shattered as they face each other and the ghosts who bring the truth to their front door. This powerful reading, in development, will be followed by the SMRT talk-back, moderated by American historian and academic Robin D. G. Kelly.
