She's written on two seasons of CBC's Baroness Von Sketch Show, teaches screenwriting and co-hosts the crime fiction reading series Noir @ The Bar.In this episode of Playwright's Spotlight Hope and I discuss gender roles within genres, finding representation, if acting can help writing, creating conflict, and what's missing in modern theatre.  To watch the video version of this episode, please follow the link below - https://youtu.be/cxckvU7XDFoLinks discussed in this episode - Noir @ The Bar - There is no official website for Noir @ the Bar. Each city has its own site or facebook page. To see if Noir at the Bar occurs in your city give a Google search. Was hoping they were linked together. Submittable.com - The site is a bit confusing and misleading by not seeming to revolve around writers but rather social impact. I found an article that describes more of how it relates to writers HERE.Buddies in Bad Times - https://buddiesinbadtimes.comCanadian Play Outlet -https://www.canadianplayoutlet.comHope Thompson - www.hopethompson.netPunk Monkey Productions - www.punkmonkeyproductions.comPLAY Noir -www.playnoir.comPLAY Noir Anthology –www.punkmonkeyproductions.com/contact.htmlWebsites and socials for James Elden, Punk Monkey Productions and Playwright's SpotlightJames 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_spotlightWriting services through Los Angeles Collegiate Playwrights Festivalwww.losangelescollegiateplaywrightsfestival.com/services.htmlSupport the show
