The results are in from the voting and there were ties for first and second, so we will actually be works hopping 4 scripts at this next meeting and voting again to pick one of those.
These scripts are:
Alex Thomas's "Chicken & Frittata"
Iris Blackburn's "Untitled / MockTrial"
Malina Panovich's "Cream Dreams"
Sarah Gonzalez's "Saturday Afternoon"
We will be reading and workshopping these four scripts and then have a live voting to pick the winning script. If you'd like to have vote and be apart of picking the script, come to this meeting.
