The Magic Circle is one of six plays Sandra has currently in development: her main project is a series of four plays based on Shakespeare's life and times. She is also developing a multi-media project on mental illness and creative madness called The Madwoman Project. Kelly Jones is this workshop's dramaturg/director and member of Literary Managers & Dramaturgs of the Americas. Kelly's dramaturgical experience includes work with Alliance Theatre, Actor's Express, The Process Theatre, and Theatre Gael. Sandra's is the second of three WTP Affiliate scripts selected by an independent panel for development in these two-phase roundtable workshops on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of March and May. A roundtable workshop is a developmental reading of the script by professional actors, the playwright and dramaturg/director, working around a table, and guests in the audience. These theatre professionals hear the dialogue, analyze the story, work through revealed problems, and two weeks later, return to hear and continue development of the playwright's revisions.
