The Dallas Screenwriters Association (DSA) is proud to feature Toy Story 3 as the third screenplay to be read during its ScriptsLIVE! shows, returning to the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema – Richardson Wednesday June 11 at 7 pm. The screenplay, written by Michael Arndt, was nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay in 2011.
The first two ScriptsLIVE! shows were performed in front of a full house with every seat in the ADH 73 theater filled with excited audience members.
ScriptsLIVE! is a dramatic reading of a classic screenplay in front of a live audience. The professional actors, seated in director’s chairs, present the material with a fresh read providing the audience with a new take of a popular film. Behind the cast of local actors will be projected establishing shots to set the scene.
Screenwriter Michael Arndt, known for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013), Oblivion (2013) and Little Miss Sunshine (2006) wrote the screenplay for Toy Story 3 based on a story by John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton and Lee Unkrich. The screenplay took 2 1/2 years to write and storyboard.
Based on the popular Script Read events produced by Jason Rietman at the LCMA in Los Angeles, the DSA is launching this new program as a way to educate people about the art and craft of screenwriting while also entertaining them.
