It’s all about the words on Wednesdays. The weekly Open Write is unprogrammed time to spend with your letters and stories, edit poems and essays, outline the memoir, rewrite the monologue, let yourself get tangled in a metaphor. For work or play, publication or peace, all pens are welcome. Not sure what to write? Prompts and exercises will be available.
Short fiction lifted from the page to the stage with a voice actor, painting and illustration on site and scored by live musicians.
