Following his introduction, Richard Avery took the floor to discuss the upcoming world premiere of The One Good Thing, which he is directing. Richard shared insights into how this exciting project came to fruition. Joe Bravaco, a New Jersey playwright, submitted his play ‘The One Good Thing’ to PlayLab last year. After competing with over 200 submissions, it was shortlisted and showcased in a script-in-hand workshop format over three days. Due to its positive reception, ERT has secured the rights to perform a full version as part of their Spring Production, marking it as the 'World Premiere' of this professional performance.
The meeting also featured a compelling talk on pensions by James Cunningham from Navigation Wealth, providing valuable information for all attendees.
The evening concluded with an opportunity for networking and drinks, allowing members to connect and discuss ideas.
We look forward to future meetings and events that will continue to foster engagement and collaboration.
