Bringing Personal Stories to Life

Instructors: Jennifer Fawcett and Sean Christopher Lewis

Join Jennifer Fawcett and Sean Christopher Lewis, playwrights and solo performers for a one-day writing workshop designed to help shape your personal story into dramatic material. Bring your story of birth, of passing, of struggle and triumph...they'll help you bring it to life.

(This class is perfect for anyone who's ever watched Walking the Wire: Monologues at Riverside and thought "hey, I have material for this...but how do I write it?")

This class is being presented in conjunction with Riverside Theatre's production of Sean Christopher Lewis's one-man show, Killadelphia: Mixtape of a City.

Date:     Saturday, March 13th
Time:     1 - 4 pm
Who:     Ages 16+
Cost:     $40; $30 for Riverdog season pass holders
