Write Act Rep's Spotlight Series shines again on our mission to the development of theatre artists in the Los Angeles community. The New Director Series is dedicated to new directors showing the potential, focus and dedication needed to promote the vision of stronger author voices needed in Los Angeles theatre. This program works in conjunction with Write Act Rep's Writer's Lab and Improv Lab. This show features the directorial artistry of Greg Crafts, Susannah Myrvold, Tracy Peyton, and Colleen Reilly with the written works of The Call by Willard Manus, Q.E.D. by Lisa K. Wyatt, Happy Hour by Jim Blanchette, and The Human Chair by Joan Silsby, respectively.

"I am pleased that the ensemble wanted to develop a program like this," states Producing Artistic Director John Lant. "I ran a successful program at my last two theatre companies, in which we developed over 40 plays with 17 new directors. Some of these directors have gone on to do film and television. I was lucky enough to be chosen to work at CBS RADFORD in a two-year program designed  for new directors for TV. Even though I had shot films, commercials, and music videos, television 3- camera format was very different. I was lucky enough to work with Howard Storm, and hopefully I have provided a sliver of leeway and of  the environment of safety I was given. I am pleased to present these directors as new creative visionaries to the Los Angeles theatre community.
