CPI Playwriting Salon 
Our Last Event on Sunday, June 28, 2009, was a true success. Don’t just take my word for it, ask others who attended. Acclaim winner Alison Vodnoy presented her script-in-progress and read it with her colleagues, Casey Leach and Richard Valitutto. It was a treat, followed by a productive Q&A.
That evening we celebrated the end of 2008-09 Season of New Voices Series. That, too, went extremely well. Calls for reservations were brisk, and the final attendance was wonderful. Guests brought appetizers, wine and beverages to share.THANK YOU!! Guests came early and stayed late to help with setup of tables and chairs.THANK YOU!
