Impact playwright blacklisted!

...and, as it turns out, that's actually a good thing. A recent issue of Entertainment Weekly let readers in on "The Black List," a Hollywood thing that's been going on for a few years: a studio exec polls other execs around town to gauge the couple hundred hottest scripts of the year. The list has helped scripts get crucial studio attention; Juno and Lars and the Real Girl might never have been made without their appearances on the list. This year's top ten unproduced scripts include one called Fuckbuddies (expect asterisks on the movie poster) by Liz Meriwether. Impact fans may think that name sounds familiar, and it is: back when she went by Elizabeth Meriwether, we produced a play of hers called Nicky Goes Goth. Congrats on hitting The Black List, Liz!
