It's going to be an amazing evening, and it kicks off with a very special guest. <br>
<br>
At 6:00 PM, ALAP will host a lecture by Janet Neipris on "Ethics and the Moral Responsibility of the Playwright." Janet currently heads the Graduate Playwriting and Screenwriting Department at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, and is a member of the Writer's Guild of America East, and PEN. She has served as a member of the Dramatists Guild Council and the Tony Committee. Her plays have been produced at theatres around the US and internationally, including the National Theatre in London; the Manhattan Theatre Club and The Women's Project in New York; and the Goodman Theatre in Chicago. <br>
After the talk, we'll take a brief break, and resume at 7:30 PM for the Annual Meeting, at which we'll announce ALAP's plans for 2009 - and then we'll adjourn to the Stella's Speakeasy for a gala 12th Nite Party.<br>
<br>
