Our writers range in experience from <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">Chuck Evered</I>, highly acclaimed playwright and screenwriter - see <STRONG>Adopt a Sailor</STRONG>, the Official Selection at this year’s Palm Springs International Film Festival, to the supremely talented High School student, <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">Lida Sobkova</I>. Other writers are Playwrights @ the Loft veterans, <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">Molly Gross</I> and <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">Jessi Sundell</I>, and newcomers, <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">Jeremiah Gilbert</I> and <I
style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">Eva Konstatopoulos</I>. I’m also very happy to welcome back Bethany Kraemer as our main director. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
