WRITING FOR CHANGE

THANKS TO NAUSET EDUCATION FOR SPONSORING 

THIS UPCOMING CLASS I'LL BE TEACHING

 Many of us want to use our words to make a difference.  We write letters to the editor, graffiti, bumper stickers, plays, speeches, pamphlets, songs…the list goes on.  In this workshop, participants will learn to find their particular voice to get across their messages for change in hopes of making a better world.  We'll read examples of powerful writing, perform in-class exercises, and share our words.  All levels of experience welcome.

Join us this weekend for the 24 Hour Plays!

 

The 24-Hour Plays

We’re so proud to partner once again with the Provincetown Playwrights Lab in presenting the annual 24-Hour Plays. The longest consecutive-running production in the state of Massachusetts, this weekend’s performances of the 24-Hour Plays marks its 15th anniversary in Provincetown!   If you’re not familiar with this community-gathering event, here’s the scoop: This Friday evening, Feb 28 we’ve signed up 7 writers, 7 directors, and 21 actors to put together seven brand new 10-minute plays -- written, rehearsed, directed, staged, all within 24 hours -- for an opening night at 7pm on Sat, March 1 at 7pm.

Due to popular demand, for the past few years we’ve been adding an encore matinee on the following Sunday afternoons. And this year’s no different! In fact, as of this writing, we’ve only got 7 more tickets left for the Saturday evening show of the 24-Hour Plays. So, we encourage you to grab your tickets for the Sunday, March 2 matinee at 2pm!

 Inspired by the creative community of Provincetown and the comaraderie of other playwrights, Eugene O’ Neill changed the American theater with work that began on the Outer Cape.  More than 100 years later, I'm honored to be part of another group of playwrights who have found inspiration with each other and in the marvelous mix that is still Provincetown.  Four Outer Cape playwrights will workshop four new full length plays.  Each play will be presented as a staged reading the first weekend, playwrights will revise their plays during the week based on audience feedback, and new versions will be presented as staged readings the second weekend.

Yule for Fuel at WHAT

Thanks to everyone who made Yule for Fuel at the Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater such a huge success.  Two shows, December 9 and 16, were full of words and music that made us grateful for our wonderfully creative community.  Special thanks to Stephen Russell who made it all happen!

All the cast on December 16, 2023
