Hey There, Stage 32 Community!

The last month of the Summer of ’24 is behind us (how did that happen so quickly??), and we all know what time it is at the end of each month - it’s time to celebrate our amazing members here at Stage 32, in particular their recent successes! This is our monthly opportunity to put the spotlight on just some of the super-talented writers and creatives in our family and share their stories of success with everyone! We know how hard everyone works on their craft, we see it every day! And when that hard work pays off with some real live progress, it’s such a rewarding feeling indeed.

Without further ado, let’s dive into the signings, deals, meetings, script requests, and all of the fun happenings from the month of August…

Success Stories

Congrats to our member Logan Ayers! As a result of being selected for an OWA, Logan sat down with Producer Alexander Cubis for a general meeting. Well done, Logan!

Congrats to our member Linda Kish! Linda set a meeting with Manager Andrew Kersey after her recent OWA selection. Make it happen, Linda!
