Prepare for Landing: A Night of Comedy Pilots (April 2026)

I produced this staged reading of 2 comedy pilots at The Glendale Room 4/24/26.​

​

"Fasten your seatbelts snugly across your lap, tuck your carry-on items safely in the seat in front of you, and liftoff into the clouds—by the clouds, we do of course mean the worlds of TWO new ½ hour comedy pilots (HOT CONVENT by Claire McNerney (me!) and THE DEEP END by Kathryn Steenburg, being presented as stage readings. Plus, select audience members will be chosen to cold-read lines alongside the actors."
