Okay, the Writers Guild Foundation gets all the flowers for coming up with one of the coolest ways to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Gene Roddenberry's "Star Trek" franchise. On Sunday, August 30th, the cast of HBO Max's The Pitt is taking a break from busting their butts on Season 3 for a live-reading of the classic Star Trek episode "The Man Trap." We've got Noah Wyle taking on the role of Captain James T. Kirk, alongside Katherine LaNasa as Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy and Taylor Dearden as Spock. In addition, Fiona Dourif, Shabana Azeez, and Ayesha Harris are also on board. The latest edition of the WGF's Retro Reads program, the ticketed event will also be live-streamed.
For Retro Reads, the Foundation will take "The Man Trap" from the shelves of the Writers Guild Foundation Shavelson-Webb Library and bring the script to life onstage with actors from current television series. The episode was the first installment of Star Trek to be broadcast. The event reflects the mission of the Writers Guild Foundation Library, a free public resource that holds more than 50,000 scripts. Open to everyone, the Library gives visitors access to the work of previous generations of writers and provides a place to study the craft of screenwriting.
Set to take place at Lodge Room in Highland Park, Los Angeles, on August 30th, tickets to attend live are now available. In addition, the event will be live-streamed and available on demand until midnight on September 14th, with livestream and on-demand tickets now available. Proceeds from the event will support the Writers Guild Foundation and its public programs, including the Library, Writers Access programs, Veterans Writing Project, and public education events.
Retro Reads is produced by Ben Blacker (The Thrilling Adventure Hour; Dead Pilots Society) and Heath Corson (Animal Kingdom; Witness Point). The show will feature live scoring by Philip Krohnengold, and is being produced by Drew Spears' DSPStudioLA and distributed courtesy Third Best Comedy.
