About The Black List Table Reads:

The Black List Table Reads takes the best and most exciting screenplays Hollywood hasn’t yet made, and turns them into movies for your ears. Black List founder Franklin Leonard presents a new script every month, read by a rotating cast of talented actors, along with interviews with members of the Hollywood screenwriting community and beyond. The first featured script read for episodes 1–4 is Balls Out, written by Malcolm Spellman (producer of Empire) and Tim Talbott (winner of the 2014 Sundance Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award). Follow the coveted stories as they unfold on The Black List Table Reads Thursdays on Wolfpop.com.

This follows up on previous Black List Live! staged readings:

1969: A Space Odyssey (June 2014)

The Seekers of Perpetual Love (September 2014)

Your Bridesmaid is a Bitch (October 2014)

GIFTED (March 2015)

Many of you have contacted me about whether any video would be available from the staged readings. For a variety of reasons, that is not possible. But thanks to Franklin and his team, these audio recordings are the next best thing with the added benefit of interviews with screenwriters as well as other features. Another great way to promote screenwriters and our craft.

The Black List Table Reads podcast debuts on April 16.
