A group of men and women gathered on the patio of The Yasmin Hotel on Basilio Badillo late Sunday afternoon for the reading of a new play. Most were members of The Puerto Vallarta Writers Group. One of their number, Eileen Obser of New York, an occasional visitor to Puerto Vallarta, had offered up her new one act play, "Water Taxi to Yelapa," for a reading and critique.
Hearing the dialogue read out loud highlighted the play's strengths and power but also revealed some weaknesses. In response, the group made a number of constructive suggestions for tightening the dialogue and sharpening the action.
The readers were: Dee Dee Camhi, Bud Grundlach, Donna Feldman, Dino (Daryl) McFadden, Larry Canady and, Stage Director, John Markuson.
Encouraging members to present readings such as this is just one of the range of activities of The Puerto Vallarta Writers Group. Open to anyone interested, there are no dues or attendance requirements. Many of the 75 members meet every Saturday morning from 10.30 – 12.00 noon at the International Friendship Club. It's located above the HSBC Bank on Insurgentes Ave. just north of the bridge over the Rio Cuale in El Centro.
