Welcome to the Writer's Room. Upcoming College Essay & Playwriting Clinics
I recently asked Greg and Matthew to put together small group classes for young writers, and they came up with two very different programs that serve a similar goal: nurturing young writers far beyond the typical classroom approach. Greg’s clinic will help incoming seniors ideate high impact college essays in an intimate writer’s room setting, while Matt’s workshop will give young creators an opportunity to hone their craft and work directly with professional actors.
