Script Feedback & Consulting

Intensive, individual consultation on your script. I meet you where you are in your process, and through close reading, questioning, notes, and discussion, help you:

• strengthen structure
• develop story
• explore characters
• identify themes
• detonate images
• exploit your own brilliant ideas
• discover what you didn’t know you knew

I am supportive, enthusiastic, honest, and lovingly brutal. I’ve worked with writers on new play development at Center Theatre Group, Portland Center Stage/JAW, Oregon Shakespeare Festival/Play On!, Ojai Playwrights Conference, USC School of Theatre, Pasadena Playhouse, ASK Theatre Projects (RIP).

Testimonials

“I cannot begin to convey the sense of empowerment I feel when I work around you. Thank you for taking the time. On that note: Thank you for the 12am calls… You’re a fucking genius with brilliant instincts… Above all, you have a relentless spirit.”
–Jesse Mu-En Shao

“I had the great fortune of having Nancy as director for the reading of my MFA thesis play Ruby, Tragically Rotund. Working with Nancy was a revelatory coda to my three years of MFA study. With her incisive questions and feedback, Nancy brought my understanding of table work and revision to new depths. She taught me things about my play I had no clue I wanted or needed to know.”
–Boni B. Alvarez

“I was totally thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Nancy. She was fantastic; calm, clear-headed, insightful, but really rigorous about pushing me on the logic, deeper meaning and through-lines within the play…The [new] draft was forged in the crucible of Keystone kicking my ass.”
–Fin Kennedy
