WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT 'A FISTFUL OF SCRIPTS'
"I’d like to applaud Wise Words Media and Theatreworks for an evening like this. A Fistful of Scripts was a collection of new works presented as table reads for the benefit of their writers"
Reviewer, Jennifer Coles, Theatre Press, 8 Dec 2011
"I attended the reading at Theatre Works on Tuesday night and I have to say I absolutely loved it. The concepts, the environment, the creative energy, the boldness, the care....oh I could just go on and on. I cannot stop thinking about that monologue. The question now is not why but how?"
Audience feedback from Kerry-Anne Haffern, 9 Dec 2011
INTRO
My name is Sean McIntyre, creative producer of 'A Fistful of Scripts', an ongoing script reading series which I created and launched at Theatre Works, St Kilda in July 2010.
'A Fistful of Scripts' is 100% not-for-profit event. With generous support from Theatre Works I have been able to produce and present a professonally run event on a regular basis at one of Melbourne's most recognisable and respected theatre venues: Theatre Works, St Kilda.
HOW THE GOAL IS POZIBLE...
While costs for the venue and staff are low, I have decided to explore funding options as to date I have invested approx $1500 of my own funds into producing this event. I hope that generous assistance from Pozible donators will assist me to cover the following expenses:

REWARDS
'A Fistful of Scripts' offers the general public and arts industry practioners a vast array of rewards and benefits.
PUBLIC
The driving philosophy and rationale behind 'A Fistful of Scripts' is to take the work out to the audience. The process is about getting vital script feedback while having an audience that hears the words and sees the action. Following each script the public will be encouraged to join an open Q & A forum, led by MC Jeremy Kewley.
For everyone else its a window into the creative process - it's like being witness to people giving collective birth to a collaborative piece of work. 'A Fistful of Scripts' brings life to words off the page for both theatre and screen by some of Melbourne's most talented and driven artists. Open to the general public, admission is free.
ACTORS, WRITERS
WRITERS write so ACTORS can act. ACTORS act so DIRECTORS can
direct. The end result is to find an audience that HEARS words and SEES
action.

exercise creative muscle. Other benefits include:
DIRECTORS, PRODUCERS
