Are there any websites that offer "grab bags" of an assortment new/old plays? I want to read more plays, but I don't want to stick to one playwright, or genre.

Expand postI have been thinking about this a lot lately. As a female performer and also a fierce believer of equality in the workplace, I have always introduced my profession as being an "actor." More and more I am "corrected" by the people that I am talking to with "I think you mean 'actress'". It was my understanding that the term "actress" was outdated, and now it was more politically correct to say "female actor," "male actor." Personally, I prefer the latter. I feel that by using the same word to describe us all it puts us on an equal playing field; the word "actress" just sounds less professional and serious to me--as if I'm still the little girl I was when I was 3 dreaming of being a big performer one day (not that there was anything wrong with that). I'm curious to know: Females: what do you introduce your profession as? What else have people heard the most?
I love that this question was posed 6 years ago, and yet it is STILL relevant. GREAT question Marissa Stahl!
After reading this thread I found it to be at times confusing and exhausting; yet, overall fun too...
So for my own POV and reference, I'll just call all of you wonderfull ACTORS and/or ACTRESSES if you prefer: MOVING IMAGINATION(s)...
Bravo!!! And, I might add RESPECT ¥ourself... As well as others too...

Expand commentAlways a much debated topic. I had this conversation again very recently. Living in NYC, female performers were always referred to as "actors", then I moved to Los Angeles where I was corrected by a producer who said, "Here you are an actress." I think it's up to your own personal preference. I don't correct people if they call me either. I'm a professional performer. "Actor", "Actress", both are correct.
Very inspiring week so far. First a meeting with CBS is being set-up from a previous pitch, and now a script request from Panay Films from the first pitch of my latest screenplay. And it's only Tuesday! None of this would have been possible without Joey and Stage 32. Their pitch advice and guidance is truly amazing. Thank you so much!
Awesome job Victor! Seems the ball is rolling stronger and faster! Keep it up!
Great news! This is a great service and fantastic community of writers and artists. Good luck with your projects.
It truly is Mike. Thanks to all for the good wishes and positive vibes!
Well done Victor. Congrats.
Great news Victor.

Expand commentDaniel, that's a great idea. Something like Birchbox (where you get a sampling of grooming products each month), but with plays. If there were such a website, would you want a monthly subscription (where you get a new grab bag each month for a year or however long you subscribe), or just a one-off? And what would you expect to pay for how many plays? This is probably something we could create if you're interested.
I would definitely be interested in subscribing to something like this! I'm shocked there isn't something already out there like this!

I never heard of that before
Daniel, how many plays (how many old, how many new) would you want in each grab bag? And what would you expect to pay? I think I'll do some research into the feasibility of this idea.
my comment wasn't sarcastic I did understand what you're asking but I never heard of such a thing I was trying to be helpful you're being rude
