Playwright's Spotlight with Hope Thompson

Hope Thompson is a graduate of the Canadian Film Centre's Feature Writing Program and UBC's Creative Writing MFA program. She writes for stage, film, and television and her work explores the queer experience through history and genre. 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.

Links 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.
