The annual Weekend Fling is playwriting retreat at which members have 48 hours to write a 10 minute play using 3 arbitrary ingredients. This year's ingredients are being contributed by Daniel Alexander Jones, actor/writer/director, Megan Monaghan, Literary Manager at South Coast Rep, and local actor and director, Jenny Larson.

ASW members will retreat to a ranch in New Braunfels, TX on the banks of the Guadalupe River to relax, recharge, and release the Muse on November 16th. The freshly written scripts will be read at the Fling Salon on Sunday, November 18 at 6:00 at the State Theatre. The public is welcome at the Salon.

8-10 plays written at the Weekend Fling will be produced in the Out of Ink 10 Minute Play Showcase in April 2008 at the Blue Theatre.
