Library Branch: Noah Webster Library
Room: NWL Board Room
Age Group: Adult
Program Type: Discussion, Hobby, & Interest Groups

The group meets on the last Wednesday of every month (except December) to provide feedback on original scripts. A knowledgeable volunteer moderator is selected from the group each month to oversee the meeting and facilitate the distribution of scripts. The group is geared to those with some screenwriting experience, though all are welcome to listen and observe. Only individuals who attend meetings regularly, and review submitted scripts, qualify to have their own script(s) reviewed by the group. New members must attend two meetings before having scripts considered for review by the group. Meetings are held in a hybrid format, both in person and over Zoom.

How to participate: Contact us at script@westhartfordlibrary.org.

This group is for adults ages 18 and up ONLY.
