Comma& (a theater company) presents 'Emergency Script Committee' (비상대본위원회), a script-focused reading project, on Dec 18–19 at KOCCA Content Culture Plaza Studio 2. The program, supported by the Korea Arts & Culture Education Service (한국문화예술위원회), develops submissions from a script contest into staged readings and offers emerging writers a platform and practical entry into the field. After a smaller first edition in 2024, the second edition expands to seven pieces by both new and established writers, covering social issues, intimate confessions, and imaginative premises. Co-directed by Comma&'s Lee Tae-rin and emerging director Chae Hee-su, the lineup includes: Seo Jeong-hoon’s 'I Arrange You' about a cleaner confronting a solitary death scene; Lee I-rim’s 'Last Family' about five strangers in a motel; Son Jeong-su’s 'Last Curtain Call' about an actor long typecast as a villain; Won Woo-hee’s 'Half-Human: Measuring Human Rights' exploring identity amid institutional change; Kim Sun-young’s 'Seonju' in which a daughter calls her deceased mother to confess pain; Yoo Hye-yul’s 'Ato, My Name' set in the Arctic with a polar bear named Ato; and Lee Sang-yun’s 'Milky Way Apple Story' about anonymous AIs debating the best artificial intelligence. Each reading is an intimate affair with only 20 seats per session; free tickets available via Naver.
