Playwright and publisher Jonathan Dorf sits in the Playwright's Spotlight and shines a light on the publishing aspect of playwriting with his experience as co-founder of YouthPLAYS touching on some of the criteria they look for as publishers of plays for younger audiences. We also touch on what makes powerful writing, in-depth characters through the tension of opposites, and the difference between internal and external conflict. Jonathan shares his insight into handling exposition, emotional summarizing,  the purpose and timing of monologues, how best to support playwrights, his opinion on submission fees, high context relationships, the worst sins in playwriting, and the importance of promoting your own work. There are a lot of interviews I say could have gone on for even longer, but I really feel my conversation with Jonathan could've gone on for three hours if not longer. It definitely deserves a follow up conversation and has motivated me to break out some past work. I hope you feel the same. Enjoy!Jonathan Dorf is author of more than 40 published plays with over 2000 productions worldwide, including such titles as 4 A.M., Harry's Hotter at Twilight, Thank You for Flushing My Head in the Toilet, Dear Chuck and The Locker Next 2 Mine. He co-founded publisher YouthPLAYS and chairs the Alliance of Los Angeles Playwrights. He created the content for Playwriting101.com and taught playwriting through Screenwriters University for more than a decade. He has served as Visiting Associate Professor in the MFA Playwriting and Children's Lit programs at Hollins University, as United States Cultural Envoy to Barbados and has been a guest speaker at dozens of schools and festivals ranging from ITF and the EdTA annual conference to Singapore's Asian Festival of Children's Content. He holds a BA in Dramatic Writing and Literature from Harvard University, and an MFA in Playwriting from UCLA.To view the video format of this episode, visit the link below -https://youtu.be/bTbwR1V9fy0Links to sites and resources mentioned in this episode - YouthPLAYS -https://www.youthplays.comThe Blank -https://www.theblank.comNew Play Exchange -https://newplayexchange.org/Playwriting101.com -https://playwriting101.comWebsite and Socials for Jonathan Dorf -www.jonathandorf.comTwitter - @jonplaywrightIG - @jonplaywrightFB - https://www.facebook.com/jonplaywrightWebsites and socials for James Elden, Punk Monkey Productions and Playwright's SpotlightPunk Monkey Productions - www.punkmonkeyproductions.comPLAY Noir -www.playnoir.comPLAY Noir Anthology –www.punkmonkeyproductions.com/contact.htmlJames Elden -Twitter - @jameseldensauerIG - @alakardrakeFB - fb.com/jameseldensauerPunk Monkey Productions and PLAY Noir - Twitter - @punkmonkeyprods                  - @playnoirla IG - @punkmonkeyprods       - @playnoir_la FB - fb.com/playnoir        - fb.com/punkmonkeyproductionsPlaywright's Spotlight -Twitter - @wrightlightpod IG - @playwrights_spotlightPlaywriting services through Los Angeles Collegiate Playwrights Festivalwww.losangelescollegiateplaywrightsfestival.com/services.htmlSupport the show

We're in the thick of AAPI month, so it's only natural we sample the Asianest fruit that ever Asianed: the durian. The guys are joined by their buddy, Dr. Beats, and it's a goofy ride to say the least. AJ dissects the the spiky specimen, and the experience quickly engulfs the studio. Fair to say responses to the delicacy run the gamut. After some palate cleansing, the guys stay in the Asian food realm, recapping Fairfax City's recent Asian Festival on Main, schooling DRB on the best banh mi joints in the area, and joining the crusade to save the DMV's version of Little Saigon. Grab some food safe gloves and press play. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/badslant/support

In our final (for now) episode of our collaboration with Dr. Xiumei Pu on her project, "Mountains and Stories: Building Community Among Asian and Pacific Islander Refugee and Immigrant Families in Salt Lake Valley," We talk with Margaret Yee. The project is supported by a Whiting Public Engagement Programs Seed Grant (https://www.whiting.org/scholars/public-engagement-programs/about) and is anchored in the theme of mountains. It is our hope that these efforts will amplify the environmental voices of Asian and Pacific Islander refugee and immigrant communities, and spark more public interest in thinking about the connection between culture, identity, and the natural environment. At the heart of the project is a podcast series featuring the life and work of twelve storytellers who come from a range of age groups, occupations, and ethnic and racial backgrounds. Some of them are born in the United States; many of them are born in another Asian country or Pacific Island and immigrated to the US at a young age. Their stories show fascinating complexities of immigration routes and histories, incredible cultural richness and resilience, and long-lasting contributions of the Asian and Asian Pacific Islander communities to the social life and cultural landscapes of Salt Lake Valley and the broader Utah. You can listen to previous episodes here (https://podcast.mountainresearch.org/) on the IMR Podcast website.

"Hey, anyone see that missing 7 and a half foot Boa Constrictor? The missing one?" The little town of Lehi isn't that thrilled to be locking up their dogs and small children while police are on the hunt. A clever mom thwarts a fake police officer with a taco... a pitbull saves a baby from a house fire... and the new "Incredibles 2" movie is... apparently incredible. Meanwhile the weekend's packed with Awesome- Mines 'n Wines Tour in Park City, the Chalk Art Festival at the Gateway and the Asian Festival in Sandy. No LGBTQ kids in the parade! The LGBTQ community is having trouble getting their floats in some of the patriotic parades this summer. Let's examine why, shall we? (screen cap via: Pixar https://youtu.be/i5qOzqD9Rms)

At the age of seven, Varsha Seshan discovered she wanted--and could be--a writer. Since then, there has been no looking back. She wrote through her college years at Junior Herald, the children's supplement of Maharashtra Herald, where over 20 stories of hers were published. The budding writer has now blossomed into a confident author for children who has published a book of short stories for children titled The StoryCatcher and a series of illustrated books for children on the Indian Railways. Varsha will now speak at the Asian Festival of Children's Content in Singapore to be held between May 25-29 2017. Along the way, Varsha has gone through more than her fair share of rejections but the love of writing never waned. The hardest thing, as per her, is to promote your book especially as a writer for children. She is also a trained Bharatnatyam dancer.

Thursday, December 17 2009, 6:30pm - 8:30pm Korean Ghost Stories Classic Korean TV Series Comes to the U.S. Thursday, December 17, 2009 6:30 PM * Screening The Korea Society 950 Third Avenue @ 57th Street, 8th Floor, New York, NY (Building entrance on SW corner of Third Avenue and 57th Street) Since 1977, KBS’ television series Korean Ghost Stories (a.k.a. Hometown of Legend) has thrilled Korean audiences with spooky tales of the supernatural. Join the members of The Korea Society as we screen two hour-long episodes of this perennial Korean favorite on Thursday, December 17. Often drawn from ancient folklore, these tales of tortured ghosts and supernatural curses have a uniquely Korean flavor, as women, forced by Confucian culture into subservient roles, return from the dead to take revenge on the men who caused them misery. The tales also touch on Korean attitudes towards justice, suggesting that the duty of the powerful to protect the powerless transcends even the grave. Screening of Haunted House and The Reincarnated Princess Thursday, December 17, 2009 – 6:30 PM The second installment of Korean Ghost Stories features two spine-tingling episodes. In Haunted House(starring Lee Duck-hwa, Lee Min-woo, and Yoo Hye-jung), the ghost of a young woman haunts the family members who sold her into a life of corruption, and two sisters return from the grave to seduce and punish the men who killed them in The Reincarnated Princess (starring Lee Jin, Kang Sung-min, and Lee Ji-hyun). All screenings will be presented in Korean with English subtitles. $10 for nonmembers ($5 for members and students) For more information contact Yuni Cho at (212) 759-7525, ext. 323 or yuni.ny@koreasociety.org.
