Media Nite Radio welcomes to the airwaves, writer Karen Harris and Kate Atkinson.

Daytime audiences know Karen from her amazing writing on the daytime drama, General Hospital.  But before General Hospital, she spent nearly ten years at Universal Television.  She has written pilots for Spelling, Fox, and ABC among others, Movies of the Week, and ensemble dramas for Universal and Lorimar.  Karen reinvented herself in the mid-1990’s as a writer of Daytime Dramas, where she has worked consistently as both a Scriptwriter and a Headwriter. 

Recently, Karen followed her long-time passion into the theater.  In addition to co-writing Part of the Plan, Karen currently serves on the Advisory Boards of two non-profit Los Angeles theater companies:  The Veterans’ Center for Performing Arts, and Phoenix Rising Theater Company.  She is also running for the Writer's Guild of America, which she served on from 2008-2010.

Kate Atkinson has created, developed, and produced documentaries, narrative films, and live stage productions.  In 2008, she acquired a distribution deal for McCartney’s Genes, the independent feature film she produced in Austin, TX starring Hamilton Von Watts, Lisa Sheridan, and Ron Livingston (Office Space, Swingers, Sex and the City).  She has produced several more short films, as well as begun the financing on a feature film scripted by Emmy Award-winning writer Paul Raley (David Letterman, SNL, Grace Under Fire).  Kate is currently attached to direct her first feature film, Ms. Vinyl, set to shoot in September 2013.  

They will be talking about their new project called, Part of the Plan
