Best Seat in the House

the best seat in the house is an online live table reading experience that allows writers to hear their working drafts read aloud by actors and professionals. as uncomfortable as it can be, receiving feedback on scripts in the developmental phase is essential to growing as a writer and evolving one’s work. it would benefit any writer to become familiar with the practice as early as possible. a round table read facilitated by experienced colleagues is a valuable step, potentially closing the gap between scripts being stuck in word documents versus scripts becoming entertainment industry-ready. sometimes it’s hard to pinpoint script problems until you hear them come to life. sometimes your reworking of drafts reaches a watershed you can’t transcend. hearing actors inhabiting the world you’re creating is where you start to see what works and what doesn’t. providing a practical feedback platform to help script exploration is the inspiration behind the best seat in the house.
