The Writers Guild of America, East is doing something intriguing. On Monday, June 22, they're presenting an evening of readings. What are people reading? Excerpts from new, as-yet-unfilmed screenplays.
One of them is a script called Dick Cavett Ruined My Life, which was authored by Craig Shemin. Craig described it as "…a comedy about a regular guy and how he continuously has his life wrecked (albeit inadvertently) by talk show host Dick Cavett." These readings are all cast with professional actors and they had to find someone appropriate to play the role of Dick Cavett. They got — you guessed it — Dick Cavett.
Here are the details. If I were closer to New York, I'd probably go.
