The 4th Annual NYWIFT New Works Lab Showcase

The New York Women in Film & Television (NYWIFT) New Works Lab was formed to give writers helpful critiques for their full length screenplays, plays, shorts and web series. The 4th Annual New Works Lab Showcase will feature scenes from Chasing the Dream by Corrine Frances-Pijuan, Kill Switch by Jaclyn S. Powell and Koko and Friends: Born to Play- Destined to Win! by Denise West.

Kill Switch is the story of a well-liked, but self-absorbed and politically ambivalent Manhattan doctor who becomes sucked into the politics of money when he discovers he’s unwittingly the heart of a government conspiracy to control health care costs – and they’re playing for keeps. It’s a cautionary tale of what happens when we abdicate our civic duty to participate in the political process.

Presented and polished through NYWIFT’s New Works Lab, Kill Switch is one of NYWIFT’s annual showcase of screenplays crafted in its lab. The staged reading will be presented on October 30th at the Poets House 6 PM. 

Reception to follow. Admission is free.
