Black List Live: “The Seekers of Perpetual Love” — September 20, 2014
The latest from the Black List [and another ticket giveaway]:
The Black List announced that Seth Green (ROBOT CHICKEN, AUSTIN POWERS, THE ITALIAN JOB, PARTY MONSTER, FAMILY GUY) would be joining the cast of their live staged reading of THE SEEKERS OF PERPETUAL LOVE this Saturday, September 20th at 8:00pm at the Montalban Theater in Hollywood.
Alison Brie, Nathan Fillion, Justin Bartha, Melanie Lynskey, Jean Smart and Dean Cameron round out the rest of the cast of the reading and Cooper Thornton returns as Black List Live’s narrator.
Screenwriter Victoria Strouse will direct the 2008 Black List script formerly known as “The Apostles of Infinite Love.”
SEEKERS is a comedy about a trio of dysfunctional upper class New York siblings who recruit a New Age “deprogrammer” and go on the road to save their sister from a doomsday cult — confronting their deep-seated issues with each other along the way.
Tickets are available now online at www.blcklst.com/events. ($35 General admission; $30 WGA members and students).
A limited edition SEEKERS poster by Pixar graphic artist Craig Foster and signed by the cast will be available for sale in the lobby of the theater before the show.

ABOUT BLACK LIST LIVE!
The Black List Live! series launched at the Los Angeles Theatre on June 14, 2014 with Stephany Folsom’s 1969: A SPACE ODYSSEY. Over 750 people were in the audience to watch Jared Harris (Mad Men, Sherlock Holmes 2, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button), Kathryn Hahn (Bad Words, Parks and Recreation), Thomas Sadoski (The Newsroom), Shannon Woodward (Raising Hope), Clark Gregg (The Avengers, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Rich Sommer (Mad Men), Aaron Staton (Mad Men), Lance Reddick (The Wire and Fringe), and Tessa Ferrer (Grey’s Anatomy, Extant) perform from the script.
Black List Live! was created by The Black List to continue its mission of promoting Hollywood’s most liked unproduced screenplays and the writers who write them. Black List Live! readings will be announced seasonally and continue on a quarterly basis both in Los Angeles and elsewhere.
Another great Black List event. You may secure tickets here.
But wait. In an exclusive, Go Into The Story has 5 pairs of tickets to give away to the Black List Live! “The Seekers of Perpetual Love” program. How to get your free tickets?
Some background: In December, the Black List will celebrate its 10th anniversary for it was in 2005 when the first annual Black List made its way around Hollywood development circles. To honor the Black List and make you use some creativity, I want you to go here where you can read through all 9 annual Black Lists online. Every script that has made the Black List since 2005 is there. Here’s what I want you to do:
Take at least two Black List script titles and create a mash-up of a new script title.
So for example, I’ll dip back to 2012 Black List and take the Eric Heisserer script “Story of Your Life” and the Michael Werwie script “Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile”, and create this mash-up title:
“The Story of Your Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile Life”.
You may enter as many times as you’d like, but the mash-up version has to be composed exclusively of Black List script titles.
Also this: If you have won free tickets before from any Go Into The Story giveaway, you are ineligible for this contest. Let’s spread the wealth, people! And you are on your honor, so please don’t crush my idealistic attitudes about the goodness and honesty of writers.
DEADLINE: Thursday, 12AM, Eastern Daylight Time.
Again you may enter as many times as you like, but only if you are eligible and your entries must be uploaded to comments in this post by Thursday, September 18th at midnight.
We’re giving away 5 pairs of tickets! Who wants to play? Hit Reply, head to comments and let’s see your Black List title mash-ups!
