Playwright's Spotlight with Arthur M. Jolly
In this episode, James speaks to playwright Arthur M. Jolly about the five basic elements of drama and human relationships as well as the benefits of being a member of the New Play Exchange and his experience participating in The Last Frontier theatre conference in Valdez, AK. James loosens up about his pet peeve of using "perhaps" and maybe" in stage directions, and Arthur tells us why "we're all writers" and suggests "when in doubt, set the car on fire."
Arthur M. Jolly is a former stunt performer and coordinator as well as winner of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Nicholl Fellowship in Screenwriting for his screenplay The Free Republic of Bobistan. He has written over 70 plays including A Gulag Mouse, The Ithica Ladies Read Media, Long Joan Silver, How Blue is My Crocodile, and two collections of short plays - Guilty Moments andThin Lines. His plays have been produced across the U.S., Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa and South America. He has won the Joining Sword and Pen competition three times, the Todd McNerney National Playwriting Award, the Region IV David Mark Cohen Playwriting Award and was a finalist for the Woodward/Newman Drama Award. In 2016, 2017, and 2019, he was invited by Houston's Alley Theatre to participate in the inaugural Alley at Ucross Residency. He is a member of the WGA Caucus, The Alliance of Los Angeles Playwrights, and The Dramatists Guild. His recent play The Lady Demands Satisfaction is due to be published February 2022.
