PLAYS IN PROGRESS MENTOR

JANICE GOLDBERG

Janice is a Plays in Progress Mentor. Her mentor interests: realism, story driven, short or full length, drama, comedy, anything in between, including socially relevant. Request Janice as a PIP Mentor.

“My work has spanned mime to musical, contemporary farce to socially relevant, plays for women to plays full of testosterone, multi-media and otherwise. The connecting key is that they all tell a story. They have real moments – moments that take my breath away, strike a chord deep in my gut, make me laugh out loud, give me pause. Avant-garde? Not for me. Non realistic? Not so much. Shakespeare? Nah. Most importantly, I believe, when all is said and done, it’s the playwright’s play. I am only here to help you find your way. Offer ideas. I ask a lot of questions. Prod you to articulate what I don’t understand. Maybe what you don’t even understand. And if it’s not finished, meaning you haven’t typed ‘End of Play’ or ‘Blackout,’ no problem. Also, I find myself working on many solo shows – if you should be so inclined. Definitely in my wheelhouse.”
