Born during the WGA strike of 2023, day 100.

Because I love artists.

Let's have fun.

WTF IS THIS?

MISSION

We writers spend hours, days, years writing a single script. Perfecting each line of dialogue, listening to the voices in our heads that talk to us, telling us where they want to go next, what they want to say. Type, type, type. We talk to our screens, we read our words aloud, and we are usually the ONLY ones that read our words aloud.


But we write a script with the hopes of hearing it performed by actors. Actors who will bring our characters to life. To finally know what all that time spent ultimately SOUNDS like.


More often than not this doesn't happen and eventually the script goes into the drawer where all our other silent babies live. I remember the first time I heard a script of mine read at a table. It was scary, emotional, amazing, humbling, and helpful to me on every level as an artist. 


BUT THOSE MOMENTS ARE RARE.


More often than not our scripts make their way up, up, up, ooooh so close and then... over into the trash bin. 


So how 'bout for one night only, with our actor friends, we hear those silent babies talk? 


This is NOT in order to sell, resurrect, hustle, or network (god knows we've all done that with every script we've ever written and it's exhausting, humiliating, sometimes exciting, but mostly disappointing). 


No. 


Greetings, This Is Your Pilot Speaking is a night for fun, for free (other than a two drink minimum) and to remind ourselves why we write. 


So, who's in? 


Go into those drawers and dust off that shit that collected notes, food stains, and tears. 


AND NO REWRITING.


That's right, however tempting it may be to rewrite when reading our old scripts (trust me, I just read one of mine and immediately wanted to "fix" it), please don't. Let the flaws, the bad exposition, the out of date jokes, the beautiful mess of it all remain in that time stamp where it died. 


Because this to for us to PLAY, to SOCIALIZE, and to HEAR

all those words that poured out of our imaginations and onto the page FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY.

about Susan Mcmartin, founder of gtiyps

Just a writer who decided to start this because depression during the WGA strike wasn't an option. I love writers. We're weird and smart and funny and difficult and we spend a lot of time alone staring at blank pages. Blank pages that ultimately we fill with a lot of heart, hope, laughter, and tears. We come close to seeing our scripts brought to life only to be devastated when they aren't. Our script goes into a drawer where it remains forever. And, after we take some time to grieve those characters and the stories that no one will ever know about...  we fucking do it all again.  

That's why I love writers.
