I’m pretty proud. Especially since it’s during their Nicholl season.

Oh my gosh. All of my first asks for my cast for my reading all ecstatically confirmed. One is even coming back during time off from a shoot. What is happening?! #scriptsky

Also - shoutout to @estherhaynes.bsky.social for proofreading my very ramble-y and nervous-y ask email. You came in clutch!

Saw some people doing this and I would love to find cool people here.

Posting to find friends who like:

I'm a nice girl from Brooklyn who loves slashers and showtunes, pass me on :)

Also thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I appreciate it!

Leah Elizabeth Evans @leahelizabethevans.bsky.social · 2d

Reaching out! :)

Leah Elizabeth Evans @leahelizabethevans.bsky.social · 2d

Thanks! I agree. I'm fine with STAY LATE or anything short.

It was actually compared to Shaun of the Dead in a workshop last week so, hey! Group mind!

I do think I implement a few things tonally, theme, and mechanic-wise that I hope set it apart from the zombies folks are used to. 🤞

Leah Elizabeth Evans @leahelizabethevans.bsky.social · 2d

Yes! I'll DM you.

CAN YOU STAY LATE (Horror/Dark Comedy Feature): Trapped in a corporate office after hours, a burned-out receptionist must survive a deadly zombie outbreak by battling her toxic coworkers as she fights her way down sixteen floors.

It looks like I can't message you. Maybe because we weren't following each other?

Leah Elizabeth Evans @leahelizabethevans.bsky.social · 2d

Doubtful. Nobody knows me really and I'm kinda newish here in general. But I like the optimism. Ha! I'll DM you. Thank you!!

Leah Elizabeth Evans @leahelizabethevans.bsky.social · 2d

Does anybody maybe have the time and want to read the first act of my Spot the Pro script Can You Stay Late?

I just randomly edited and restructured it this morning because I'm a bigger monster than anyone that I write. #scriptsky

I'm trying to be less shy about asking!

Just got approved to do a reading of Can You Stay Late in late November in Manhattan! So far, my first-choice actors have all said they're in, which is kinda awesome.

If anyone has experience producing live reads, I’d love to pick your brain - particularly about staging and promotion. #scriptsky

Oh my gosh. This is super high praise from you!! Thank you.

Leah Elizabeth Evans @leahelizabethevans.bsky.social · 3d

Thank you! I saw you in the chat and was all "dang Victoria, why you gotta do me like that". LOL.

Leah Elizabeth Evans @leahelizabethevans.bsky.social · 4d

Thank you so much! ♥️

Me today after reading everyone’s comments, messages, and texts after Spot the Pro last night.

I am overwhelmed by how kind and welcoming everyone has been. I’m still new to this community and figuring sh** out, but I’m happy to have stumbled upon such a kind place like #scriptsky

Depending on when a big-ass Y

Leah Elizabeth Evans @leahelizabethevans.bsky.social · 4d

Well, that was equal parts nerve-racking and fun (eventually). Still can’t believe it.

Anyways, here’s the episode of #SpotThePro my first page was on.

It’s my dark horror comedy in the vein of Sorry to Bother You and Get Out with a dash of Edgar Wright. #scriptsky

Is my imposter syndrome not as good as yours?! 😳

Get in losers, we’re randomly rewriting our whole first act for no other reason than we can never be happy. #scriptsky
