ScreenPlayLab Mixer March 11th...

ScreenPlayLab is a great emotional boost when you’re wondering if anybody cares in Hollywood. We care and will be pumping out positive vibes as usual. ScreenPlayLab isn’t a writers group. It’s for everyone interested in scripted TV and film...producers, writers, actors, directors, editors, composers, crew, representation. People from all aspects of the business are at our events.

Join us at the elegant Sidebar by Wolfgang Puck in the Regency Beverly Wilshire Hotel, 9500 Wilshire Blvd. at Rodeo Drive, where "Pretty Woman" was filmed in Beverly Hills. Biz casual or cocktail attire. Drinks start at $6 but check with your server as this is a very fancy place where prices can go much higher. Ask about drink specials, appetizers and deserts. 7pm to 10pm. FREE, but please order something to drink or eat. RSVP online using web form:
