Past Writers Showcased
“I absolutely LOVE the Breakthrough Reading Series! It always gives me something to look forward to each month. I am very impressed by the consistent high level of work that is featured on a monthly basis. The variety of writers and actors featured is very refreshing. Each reading feels like a safe haven for diversity and inclusion, which is extremely refreshing in a market like Los Angeles. The group feels like a wonderful family that I am grateful to be a member of, and I hope that each month continues to grow larger and attract the attention of the greater LA community. Brava!”
