The Coronet Writers Lab is a group of professional writers and actors helping writers get their scripts to be the best they can be. The Lab meets weekly (on Tuesday nights) or biweekly (on Saturday mornings) in the Fountain Theatre in Hollywood. During these lab sessions, writers bring in their scripts (screenplays, stage plays, teleplays, new media), hear their words performed by professional actors and then entertain the constructive feedback offered by those in attendance.The moderator of the Lab is T. Jay O'Brien, who says: "Utilizing the process of the Lab makes your work and your writing better. I have seen it happen over and over again. Not only are you called upon to write, but you must offer up insights into your peers' scripts. Hearing a wide variety of material week after week and forcing you to hone in on what works or what doesn't work for you is an added benefit. It compels you to truly refine your analytical and critical thinking -- critical in the best sense of the word! And this only serves to help you in your writing. Above all we have a good time while we do this. There is a tremendous amount of laughter that takes place during a Lab, otherwise, what's the point? We take the work seriously but not ourselves." Alumni of the lab include: Mickey Fisher (Extant, Mars, Reverie); Moira Walley-Beckett (Emmy winner for "Ozymandias" episode of Breaking Bad, Flesh and Bone, Anne); Matt Sazama (Gods of Egypt, Dracula Untold, The Last Witch Hunter, Lost In Space), Jeffrey Shakoor (Bloodline, I'm Dying Up Here); Shawn Boxe (Silicon Valley, Jeff & Some Aliens); Ubah Mohamed (The Whispers, Cold).If you want to write, write. If you want your writing to get better, join us. Contact our moderator, T. Jay O'Brien at (310) 487-3758 or email tjay3@aol.com
