UNH Manchester hosts script reading of NIKI SWEET TALK MOVES

Manchester, NH - The UNH Manchester Communications Arts program is hosting a stage reading of Adjunct Professor Dana Biscotti Myskowski's creative thesis screenplay, NIKI SWEET TALK MOVES, on Thursday, April 17.

The script, NIKI SWEET TALK MOVES, tells the political, panoramic and profoundly personal story of a cynical investigative reporter, down on her luck, who heads into the Arctic wilds to meet the requirements of her father's will...and instead, inadvertently uncovers a deadly environmental scandal. Along the way, Wyn Baker finds not only true love, but a reawakened sense of purpose...and a profound connection to her roots. The title plays off the rough phonetic pronunciation of Nikisuittuq, which is Inuktitut for the North Star or "never moves."

Volunteers will read from Myskowski’s graduate thesis project, a feature-length screenplay that earned her an MFA in Creative Writing from Goddard College in January 2008.

Script readers will include:
Barbara Jago, Associate Professor of Communication Arts
Tom Anastasi, Lecturer of Business
Raina Drouin, Administrative Assistant
Kristin Robbin, Ian Reddick, and Kevin Mason, Students
Dana Biscotti Myskowski, Adjunct Professor, Communication Arts
