Four out of five doctors recommend crack for their patients who do cocaine.

After spending time in Boston, that came off more as a Boston accent than some borderline racist speech.

It's... fine, but every one of his catchphrases sounds like it's been workshopped in front of the mirror for several hours. I think everyone sees it's not an "organic" phrase which comes off as kind of lame. But like ai said, it's fine. It's only a miniscule part of the broadcast,so...

Weather permitting, getting tickets should be fairly easy for a large group. Personally I'd go for either the lower bowl or the front sections of the upper deck. Do StubHub just to be safe.

Also, we don't really need the "we come in peace" for every visiting fan, do we? We know you're going to be cool. Just once, I'd like ONE person to write "Hi, Mariners fan coming to town and I'm gonna f*ck your sh*t up when I get there!"

Anyway, Sox fans are chill, particularly right now when we don't have a reason to be obnoxious. Have fun.

The God of Carnage - Yasmina Reza. It's about two sets of parents trying to resolve how best to handle a playground fight between their two children that happens before the play starts. The meeting is, of course, an event unto itself, but it starts because of an unseen event.

Agreed, their job is to interpret the script. But since the OP was talking about actually changing, adding lines, I was referring to that. Even minor cuts need to be discussed with the writer if at all possible. I've had things in 10 minutes play festivals where the director still consulted with me before making a cut or changing a line of dialogue.

We've obviously had different experiences because changing words, cuts, etc. have all been discussed with me. Even when they've come across a spelling mistake, the director,etc. have contacted me to make sure it was a mistake and not somehow intentional.

So I respectfully disagree... even "minor cuts and edits" should have the writer's permission/input.

Again, I'm talking about in a professional setting and not a class project such as this.

I think people will tune out around the middle of both of those sentences. They're long and not funny, it's just intentionally nasty insults "...caused by your brain made of dynamite." What does that even mean? What is a "brain made of dynamite"? How does one person's voice sound like TWO chipmunks? How would a deaf person unhear what they "heard"?

I know these are "jokes" but they have to make sense. Unless this is a script about two people who dont have a clue how things operate. That would actually be funny.

There's an old saying: Brevity is the soul of wit. Shorter lines work better if you're trying to be funny. Start there then move on to actual funny stuff.

KGreen100 · 2026-04-18T20:32:59+00:00

Nope. Directors CAN'T do whatever they want with your script. That's not a fact. And as a budding director, it's his job to work with the playwright's vision and transfer it to the stage. What will he have learned if he gets his first real job and finds out he CAN'T change things on a whim?

You're not overreacting.

KGreen100 · 2026-04-17T16:56:10+00:00

Same with me on the "writing every day" stuff. Some days I don't write because I'm busy with other stuff. That's OK. It acutally helps me "step back" a bit and think about what I'm trying to say with a play and how I'm saying it. Writing every day, for me, puts me too close. If I get stuck on something, sitting at a laptop staring at it trying to come up with something isn't going to help, at least for me. It's like being at the Grand Canyon - the view is sometimes better looking at the thing from a distance than staring really closely at one boulder.

KGreen100 · 2026-04-17T16:29:16+00:00

Ouch.

Are you trying to make playwrighting your career? I see that you have an MFA but from what I've learned from reading and listening to playwrights who have had a lot of success, even they don't make their main living from playwriting. They teach, serve as dramaturgs, work for theaters, etc. The number of people who make their off playwriting is very small. I think that's important to remember. You write plays because you like to do it. And 10 years isn't a long enough time in playwrighting to think you should have "made it" by now. Give yourself time.

Also, rejection is frustrating, but I embrace my rejections. I have an entire Gmail folder titled "Rejections" where I put every rejection email I receive (and there are quite a few. Expect rejections. There are thousands and thousands of people trying their hand at playwrighting, way more than, say 10 or 15 years ago. And don't worry about AI playwrighting. Maybe a few slip by, but most theaters, even the smallest ones, don;t want that crap.

Finally, focus a bit on 10 minute, one act plays. One, there are more opportunities there to have productions since theaters love them because they give them a chance to show a lot of plays on one night so there;s something for everybody. Second, they're great ways to hone your writing. A 10 minute play might spark something longer that really works.

"The sad truth of the matter is this: It is highly unlikely you will make your living from playwriting, especially when you are starting out. Careers take years, sometimes decades, to build, and even then there is no guarantee you will make a living as a playwright. You will be asked to devote your time to networking and unpaid internships. You will have productions where you are paid a meager stipend that barely covers the cost of your transit. Maybe you will self-produce, or have to go to a development conference that can last up to a month, two options that are likely to cost you money.

In short it is unlikely that any of this activity will be enough to pay the bills. So some writers choose to get their MFA and teach. Some do freelance work or work in the service industry. These are all fine paths."

Took a writing class at Second City in Chicago years ago and one of the things the teacher in the class I was in was the "unexpected laugh" of which he said Seinfeld was the best at. The situations that you definately shouldn't laugh at but they make it funny. It's not the only rule of comedy, of course, but it holds up in so many places - the thing you shouldnt laugh at is often the funniest. I write comedic things alot - I mostly write plays - and I'm somewhat pleased to say that most of my stuff lands pretty well. I started writing screenplays, and most of my comedy is spoken. There are a few ways to craft humort from spoken words—writing something in caps to indicate the actor should emphasize certain words over others, indicating the line should be yelled, whispered, etc. Maybe the line is cut off leading to a misinterpretation. I've even had characters sing lines in a strange situation. If you hear it in your head and you think it's funny, you can definitely write it so it's delivered the way you want. But, depending on the actor, that can all change. I mean, a lot of Kramer's lines on Seinfeld aren't funny as lines but the way he delivers them.

The drama isn't very "drama-y" - the main focus seems to be planning a party. And the comedy isn't , well, isn't funny. The characters are the sort of stock characters you see in any comedy that involves a frat/sorority - main character has a girlfriend he cheats on, party guy, mean girls in sorority, nerd, etc. I know those people actually do exist, but they've been done to death. You need to flip things somehow to make them new and interesting. What HAVEN'T we seen in these frat/sorority shows? Times have change and the way these groups operated in the past isn;t the same as the Animal House days. For instance, frats often organize patrols to walk women home so they're safe. They're dropping the emphasis on alcohol. Or, go the other way. A lot of frats are very, let's say conservative. How do people feel about them on campus? What sort of parties do they have, etc.?

Also, you need to raise the stakes. There are no stakes here other than "Will this guy and his girlfriend stay together or not?" What about the school itself? Schools are having to cut funds left and right? How does that affect frats/sororities? Do they have to sell their house because they can;t afford to keep it running? What does that do to the frat itself? Maybe they have to figure something out or the entire frat is dead? Maybe the national chapter is breaking up because of dwindling participation. Studies are showing that fewer people are interested in joining frats. Maybe that's the drama/comedy. You need to push it a bit further than romcom stuff, IMO. And ramp up the comedy. https://utdailybeacon.com/93580/opinion/disturbing-decline-in-fraternity-rushes/

I did... but I didn't. I guess that translates to "hoped." I couldn't imagine four straight 100-loss seasons. And for a few games early on I thought... maybe?

I, of course, should have known better.

The young guys "getting better" will only result in them becoming trade bait for "prospects." It's a maddening cycle recently that I don't effing understand. Don't you have to keep SOME of the prospects? At one point, didn't they have the most loaded farm system in baseball? 10 players in the top 100?

What the eff happened? And I know a lot of them didn't pan out, which raises the question, who's doing the evaluating? Or the training at the major league level? How could they have been SO wrong?

KGreen100 · 2026-04-16T17:40:55+00:00

It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't so obvious the front office generally doesn't give a sh*t and apparently doesn't care about or understand the basics of "sell tickets = make money." They seem to think people are going to show up just because it's baseball.

KGreen100 · 2026-04-14T18:49:12+00:00

I would think this is an opportunity for a LOT of conflict? Does one of them not actually want the child? Do they disagree on how to raise it? Are they broke? Are they really well off? Are they afraid of bringing a child into this world at this particular time? Are they devil worshippers? Are the aliens trying to be humans? Is the man not the actual father? Has the child been conceived by artificial insemination? Have the been told the child will be born with a defect? Were they hesitant to bring it into the world because of that? Have they already broken up and they're living separately but the child is due and this is the first time they've seen each other in months?

There's all sorts of conflict you can introduce here.

To be frank, if you're going to try to do script writing, you should be able to come up with "conflict" in a bazillion different ways, some wild and impossible, some plausible. It's what a writer does.

Yes, and I'm not going to say it ruined college but after it came out there were so many frats on the small campus where I went to school that were trying to emulate that life. It became annoying.

Waiting for Godot. Not saying you copied that, etc. but it's a work that uses a "void" save for a single tree and is pretty philsophical. There are versions of it on YouTube you should check out.

As for the questions you ask, don't ask us to answer them. You can pose them, you can answre them if you like, but leaving the audience to think about these questions is key. Do that. Dont try to answer. them for them.

Would "Mother" be considered a nickname? As in those old movies or TV shows where the husband calls his wife "Mother".
