WHAT WRITERS ARE SAYING...
“His notes are laser sharp. He has a keen eye and the professional experience to see what a writer cannot. He provided the necessary components that brought my play to another level. Highly recommend!" — Jay Coughlin, Los Angeles (playwright)
"Having developed numerous plays, both in development and production, with Scott's patient and watchful eye as a key component, I can only say that what he offers here is an opportunity no writer should pass up. He has a remarkable ability to balance keen and incisive dramaturgy with the type of kindness and compassion that only comes from a practitioner who understands how personal the endeavor of writing anything is. My work has always only improved after listening to Scott Alan Evans. Yours will too."

“Scott’s vast experience as a director, producer, dramaturge, and Artistic Director of a NYC theater company, was the perfect mix of disciplines to work with me on my screenplay based on a true story in the Broadway theater world.

"Scott Alan Evans is the real deal! He’s been instrumental in guiding my new play to fruition. His experience and expertise have been invaluable along with his discerning ear and eye for detail. Scott is nurturing, encouraging and rigorous. He wants your work to exceed your expectations – and mine certainly has under his tutelage.
— John Jamiel, New York City (playwright)​​
“Having worked with Scott on three of my new plays in reading, workshop and production formats, I came away with better scripts because of Scott’s keen editing eye. He has a genius for connecting the dots of character, situation, logic and moment-by-moment scene progression.He’s always asking and not prescribing. He investigates what story I want to tell, not the one he wants." — Kenneth Jones, New York City (playwright)
"As a first time screenwriter, I knew I needed help to strengthen my story. Scott offered comprehensive coverage of my script with excellent points that improved the structure and the storytelling. Throughout the process he was patient, kind, supportive, and thorough with his analysis. Scott’s insight was extremely impactful and I highly recommend him!"​
— Carl Hendricks Lewis, New York City (playwright/actor)
"With Scott’s genuinely helpful guidance we were able to focus and streamline my play. He cared about what I was trying to say and made sure that I was saying it clearly. He asked stimulating questions and had patience with my various attempts. I would recommend Scott to any playwright who wants honest, experienced assistance, and professional support."

"I’ve been associated with Scott for more than thirty years, as my director, as co-artistic director of TACT, and as co-producer & director of several landmark productions, including the world premieres of two Noel Coward plays: “Long Island Sound” and “Salute to the Brave”. I regard him as a model of efficiency and integrity, and in addition, he has always been a pleasure to work with. He is justly respected for his professionalism, and for the wisdom and acumen he has acquired through his career.
— Simon Jones, New York & London (actor/producer)
"Scott was a joy to work with. He has an impeccable sense of structure ... a musical feel for rhythm and pace ... and a logical, penetrating mind that can break down an event to get at why it is not quite working or discover that a scene is missing a key element. He is superb at analyzing the work in front of him. Anyone working with Scott will benefit from his great theatrical experience, his sharp, witty mind, and his sure sense of the writing craft."​
— Jeffrey Couchman, New York (playwright/screenwriter)
