THE GAY SCENE 5 /by WGAW and GAY & LESBIAN WRITERS COMMITTEE

2 weeks ago we had a pleasure to be invited to THE GAY SCENE 5, organized by WGAW and Gay & Lesbian Writers Committee, to enjoy the reading of the screen plays written by some of the most talented Los Angeles script writers. We have seen gay scenes from eleven unproduced television pilots, stage plays, short films and features written by WGA members. We thank Gary Goldstein and David A. Lee and Daniel Vaillancourt for organizing this amazing event.



Here is the list of scenes and participants. NICK WAUTERS "Ryan's life", STEPHEN WITKIN "Off Ramp to Babylon", DAVID DEAN BOTTRELL & PAUL JENE "everybody's Gay", VICTOR BUMBALO"Two Boys", GARY GOLDSTEIN "Just Men", SCOTT SANDOE "Counting Matthew", KELLY ROUSE "Second Coming Of The Blues", RONALD ZATE "But Not For Me", DONALD MARTIN "A Journey to Moriah", SPIRO SKENTZOS "Three Mile Family", DAVID A. LEE & DANIEL VAILLANCOURT "True Blue".

What sets this event apart is that you rarely get so much talent gather together around a single subject and do the amazing reading routine (and really performing). Because of the success we have heard that other WGA committees has explored the concept with a great success.



And thanks for all the actors that has taken part in this exercise. It was amazing to see them go from one role to another and observe the complete transformation (without makeup costumes and stage scenography): Annie Quinn, Blake Boyd, Brett Chukerman, Jeffrey Christopher Todd, Zibby Allen, Patrick Hancock, David Heymann, Yuval David, Stephanie Courtney, Robert Catrini, Caroline Aaron, Julia Nickson-Soul (in order of appearance).
