Meetings
Bimonthly meetings Sept-June.
- PCP holds regular meetings, both in person and on Zoom, between September and June. During the summer, we continue to meet on a less formal basis to read and review members’ scripts.
- Coming to a meeting is the best way to get to know us! Anyone with an interest in scriptwriting, regardless of experience level, is welcome to attend. We love visitors! To request an invitation or Zoom link, email us at gopcpp@gmail.com
- Attending a meeting is a great way to get a feel for the group and see what we’re all about. You may be asked to read a part in a script or participate in a writing prompt, but it is fine to simply observe if you’re more comfortable with that.
- Meetings typically consist of organizational business, such as planning and preparing for upcoming productions, as well as sharing writing-related news and participating in a short, informal writing prompt.
- The heart of our meetings are readings and discussion of members’ scripts.
- Most meetings take place on Zoom. To request the meeting link, simply fill out your email below and submit.

- Members have the opportunity for their scripts to be produced, both in live theatrical productions and in short film showcases.
- Members have access to valuable resources such as writing and formatting guides, submission opportunities, and industry insights.
- Engaging in discussions, workshops, and critiques can enhance your writing skills. You can learn from others’ techniques, strategies, and writing practices.
- PCP provides a safe space for creativity, where you can experiment with new writing techniques, styles, and ideas without fear of harsh judgment.
Donations
Take support to the next level.
- Your donation to our non-profit organization sustains creativity, culture, and artistic expression in your community.
- PCP proudly affirms a commitment to making our shows accessible to people of all income levels. Your donation allows us to continue to ensure that no one is excluded from the magic of live performance due to economic inequality.
- Unlike many community theatre groups, PCP pays all the actors and directors who offer their considerable time and talents to bring our shows to fruition.
- PCP provides a platform for experimentation and artistic innovation. Donating enables us to take creative risks, produce original works, and collaborate with emerging playwrights, directors, designers, and performers, pushing the boundaries of artistic expression.
