All of my Stage Readers appreciate the fact that they are listed in the WHFF Archives, and that their names will pop up on a Google search with a photo and contact info. Plus, their participation can lead to future work. In July, Jon Seamans (Comedy Screenplay winner and Staged Reading author in 2005) was the head writer for a team, 95 South Productions, in the 48 Hour Film Project / Providence and he tried to recruit the three leads, Martha, Joe and Mark, from the 2005 WHFF Staged Reading of PLAINVILLE, VT, for his team. He was able to connect only with Martha Cary. He wrote a lead role for her in their entry LET IT ALL OUT.  This short film was very funny and should do well on the film festival circuit. Great!! Another connection and a success from a WHFF Winning Screenplay Staged Reading… all part of the WHFF mythic folklore. Thanks, it's a pleasure to work with you…. Alex Daunis, Angell Street Players
