WRITERS AT THE GYM

The backbone of The Gym is made up of writers pushing themselves to dig deeper into their work and finish their drafts. Writers can bring in ten pages of work each week, and get feedback if they so choose. They can also pitch a story they are developing. "Pitching" is a skill that all writers must master, using the audience at The Gym to hone that skill is a wonderful aspect of The Gym for writers. We ask that you cast your readings from The Gym members, however, writers are permitted to bring in guest readers for that session (should you not be able to cast the role out of The Gym).  This also provides a wonderful opportunity for our actors to practice their cold reading techniques. ​

 

*we are not accepting any new writing submissions for the Thursday Session at this time. Thursday membership is by board member referral only.

 

To apply for the Monday Night Gym, please send your bio, resume, two ten page samples plus a log line of what you plan to work on at The Gym to:  info@theactorsgymny.org

​

We seek writers who write  with full understanding of formatting, set ups & payoffs, have a unique p.o.v and write dialogue that is driven by need. Our playwrights write specifically and dig deep to get what's important to them on the page. Our screenwriters understand that a screenplay's job is to make you see. Our television writers understand that a pilot must be a microcosm of an entire show that showcases people we love or love to hate solving problems. 

​

If you are a writer who does not yet fully grasp these concepts, consider joining our auditing program.
