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
