The DSA ScriptsLIVE! Presents KISS KISS BANG BANG

The DSA ScriptsLIVE! Presents KISS KISS BANG BANG
at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema - Richardson

After a sold out performance of the inaugural ScriptsLIVE!, The Dallas Screenwriters Association (DSA) is returning to the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema – Richardson Wednesday, April 9 at 7 pm to showcase the classic Shane Black screenplay, KISS KISS BANG BANG.

ScriptsLIVE! is a dramatic reading of a classic screenplay in front of a live audience. The actors, seated in director’s chairs, will present the material with a fresh read providing the audience with a new take of a popular film. Behind the cast of local actors will be projected establishing shots to set the scene.

KISS KISS BANG BANG was written by Shane Black (who was one of the most highly paid screenwriters in the 1980s). The script for KISS KISS BANG BANG is partially based on the Brett Halliday novel “Bodies Are Where You Find Them,” and interprets the classic hard-boiled literary genre in a tongue-in-cheek fashion. The film starred Robert Downey Jr, Val Kilmer and Michelle Mongahan, the film has become a cult favorite for film lovers.

Based on the popular Script Read events produced by Jason Rietman at the LCMA in Los Angeles, the DSA is launching this new program as a way to educate people about the art and craft of screenwriting while also entertaining them.

“We are excited to returning to The Alamo Drafthouse,” says Douglas King, DSA board member and director of ScriptsLIVE! “The first event was a success and the audience and the cast had a great time. We have even more exciting things plan for this show”
