The gathering at the former was set to kick off at 6 p.m. ET, while the meeting at the latter is set for 7 p.m. PT.
“It really informs you as a writer to have that kind of on-set experience,” Mahone said on Wednesday evening after marching with other striking WGA writers through Manhattan to a meeting of union members at Cooper Union college. “Because you can see the limitations; you can see how your ideas actually come to life. When you’re writing in a room, on paper, it’s easy to come up with all these ideas, but to see them actually executed and to be on set — that’s an invaluable experience.
“I had just wrapped, a month prior, another show that I had worked on,” Zaragoza said, “and so I was really just sitting and waiting — literally sitting and waiting to see if I was going to be able to work and trying to plan what I’m going to do if I can’t work in my current field, my current profession, in television. What am I going to do to make money?”
