Hi everyone! My name is Sally Turner.
For the last two years, I have been writing a half-hour single camera comedy drama inspired by events that happened in my life and those of several of my high school friends when we were in our early 50s. It's hilarious and heart warming. I think it will resonate with a wide audience and is definitely timely.
I was a lawyer, a stay-at-home mom, a business owner and now I'm writing this story. Stage 32 offers such valuable information, connections and inspiration. Thank you for creating this platform so that those of us who are new to this world can at least try be a part of it.
Hey, Sally Turner! My name is Kay, I'm the Community Manager here at Stage 32. Nice to meet you and welcome to the community! If you'd like to learn more about myself and the Stage32 Team, we have an intro blog: https://www.stage32.com/blog/Meet-the-Stage-32-Team
Awesome, congrats on your series! Actually, have you met my friend Kelly? She's a stand-up comedian, with a humor column on Medium, and has written several comedies. I think you two would hit it off! Here is her intro post if you'd like to chat with her before DMing: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/introduce_yourself/Kickin-It-With-Kay
I’m sure you’ve already discovered the Screenwriting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/screenwriting), but definitely reach out on the Acting Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/acting) for insight into characters, dialogue, and even when you want to generate interest in a virtual table read! Of course, I think you'd enjoy the Producing Lounge as well, especially as you begin pitching your project: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/producing
Keep in mind that these lounges are like the VIP Filmmaker's Lounges at Film Festivals, so this is where you can meet the people doing the work, get advice on anything you're working on, and/or give back to those who may need advice. We're a very supportive and encouraging community! I think you'd also enjoy my intro blog post on how to engage with the Stage32 Community:

Enjoy exploring the lounges, and don't forget to comment and respond to others’ posts, too! It's the best way to really connect! And, of course, feel free to reach out at any time. Cheers!
