Discovery, Deliberation, Decision, and Driving Action - Playwright's Spotlight with Matt Williams
90 minutes of brilliant insight. The amount of real estate this episode with Matt Williams covers couldn't be covered in a set of Time Life books. Matt provides so much knowledge, it was hard to know when to stop and move on to the next question. In this chat we cover learning playwriting from dramaturgical books opposed to those focused on actual playwriting, driving action vs inciting incidents, achieving simplicity through elimination, embodying character through action, bad feedback and notes, the trap of directing your own work, and when to pull the plug when someone else is in the driver's seat. We also discuss how to make your play director proof, developing a writing routine, trusting actors and directors, putting vibrance on the page, the point of view character and the protagonist, beginning and ending a scene and so much more. I'd be hard-pressed to believe any playwright won't walk away with a treasure trove of goodness from what Matt brings to the table. As always, ENJOY!
Matt Williams has worked in theater, film and television as a writer, director, and producer. In pursuit of his passion to see children succeed, Williams recently formed the Laughing Angels Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping children around the world by creating stories that celebrate the human spirit. He also serves on the board at the Cherry Lane Theatre, a resident non-profit theatre founded by his wife, Angelina Fiordellisi. Playwriting credits include Fear, Actually, We’re F*cked, Bruce Lee Is Dead and I’m Not Feeling Too Good Either, Jason and the Nun, and Between Daylight and Boonville.

Twists, Turns, Intent, and Creating Your Own Opportunities - Playwright's Spotlight with Paul Surace
In this episode, Los Angeles based playwright Paul Surace swings by Playwright's Spotlight to talk about his upcoming compilation Hearing More Voices the followup to his first collection Hearing Voices. We discuss poignancy in playwriting, writing with intent, characters with a history vs characters that are strangers, and being directed as a playwright. We also touch on bad direction and pulling the plug on a production, creating your own opportunities, discipline while working a full time job, and perhaps finally cracking the mystery of how to write subtext. Paul's New York charm exudes in this conversation along with his decades of playwriting experience. I'm sure you'll walk away with a new perspective that will assist in your own playwriting. Be sure to let us know how it helped. Enjoy!
Paul Surace is a playwright, producer, actor, screenwriter, Walt Disney Company Fellowship winner, and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. He’s written over 30 short plays, some of which have been produced in New York City and Hollywood. His book of short plays Hearing Voices has received rave reviews, and he is currently working on another collection due to be released in 2023. His full length plays include Homecoming and NYC Nativity.

Fiona Campbell (Tour Manager for Hinds, Mitski, Shamir and Drummer for Guardian Singles)
Welcome to Roadcase, a podcast exploring the live music experience!! Fiona Campbell is a swiss-army knife for live music: she is both a drummer and tour manager separately and simultaneously, for multiple bands including Hinds, Mitski, Shamir, The Chills, and Guardian Singles. A native New Zealander, Fiona is now an American citizen who moved to the US in 2005, attracted by the then burgeoning punk scene in Brooklyn. And as if their love for the live music world were not enough, Fiona is currently attending nursing school as well. We talk about the current music scene in New Zealand, where she is currently located and how Covid is affecting life there. We also discuss how Fiona only works with all-female bands that identify as non-binary -- as does Fiona -- and how gender identification can affect the live music experience at-large. Join us for this informative and enlightening episode, so hop on aboard -- it's a great ride!!

#2 - Peter Tolan (TV writer-showrunner & screenwriter) in Santa Monica
Peter Tolan (Rescue Me, Outsiders, The Jim Gaffigan Show, Analyze This) talks TV pilots and his creative journey.
We talk about:
- creating character conflicts
- balancing comedy and drama
- The central idea, the nugget, the central question of what a show is and writing to it
- Building character conflicts, plot in a TV pilot
- Mapping out the season/seasons of a series
- Episode balance of comedy and drama on Rescue me
- Writers room
- Using cards
- Cards wall
- Story checkpoints
- Sequences
- George Clooney

- The Larry Sanders Show
- UMass theatre days
- New York theatre exploits
- Murphy Brown
- Gaffigan
- Playwriting to TV writing
- Breaking into the business today – Youtube, shooting something
Quotes from the show:
"You slowly put everything in place so you can get to that last moment. We knew what the last image of the first season of Rescue Me was so we could always write to it. We slowly could make our way towards that."
"Rescue Me was dealing with death all the time. As dark as it went with drama, it had to go just as light with the comedy. You had to balance the two out."
“If you're young and starting out, you can shoot on your phone. Write something and make it. Put it on YouTube and people will see it.”
“You write somebody who's a dick - who has outrageous behavior, but then how do you have an audience empathize with that character, care about that character? So an essential character is not the dick, it's the other guy."
