Originally planned as a physical on-site service based in New York City, the pandemic has forced Mixing It Up Productions to pivot virtually.Script to Stage is an eight-week virtual program where playwrights from the United States and Canada can further develop their scripts. TheScript to Stageconcept provides playwrights' invaluable individual attention from dramaturg to director, culminating in selection of and working with a creative team of actors for a staged-reading of their script. The final week offers participants constructive feedback along with a recording of the performance and a package of resource materials.

"The plight of many playwrights is never having their scripts performed, which is counterintuitive to their objective. We want to change that plight by making their intentions realized in a staged-reading," explains Fred Rohan-Vargas, founder and executive producer of Mixing it Up Productions.

"We accept every enrollment without prejudice," says Rohan-Vargas. "It doesn't matter what your politics or ideologies are. "We're all about the craft and inclusion."

The only caveat for playwrights is that the scripts must be non-musical in format. The company's program will begin on October 5thand run through December 4th(Thanksgiving week is dark). Playwrights can begin to register on September 16th.
