About Us

Finding Inspiration in Every Turn

Fierce Backbone currently meets by Zoom on Monday night at 7:00pm and we read sections of three different plays and offer the writers feedback.

Once a month we meet in person at The Pico Playhouse!

On select Saturdays, “Extra Fierce” meets at 10am with the same format.

Occasionally, we present full reads on Monday nights and Saturday mornings. We encourage you to join our email list

Guests are always welcome. If you’d like to join any event, please email

fiercelywriting@gmail.com and we’ll send you the link.

Our Story

In the summer of 2007, a group of playwrights, actors and directors gathered to solve a problem: How do we develop new plays while also developing as artists?

We are a company dedicated to developing plays and people. Each play graduates to further levels of development: staged readings, workshop productions, full productions…all with the support and talents of Backbone members leading the way.
