Kravis Center

THE WRITERS' ACADEMY AT THE KRAVIS CENTER

WRITERS' CIRCLE Instructor: Julie GIlbert

Writers’ Circle has been created as a haven for serious writers of all ages. It is a safe environment in which to explore expression, expand and hone craft, share results with oral readings and respectfully critique fellow-writers. The course will include one 15-minute private session with Ms. Gilbert and a Mid-day Munch and Marketing Seminar. Once a piece of work has been sufficiently developed, it may result in a public reading by professional actors at the Kravis Center and/or on WXEL-90.7 FM.

This course, a pad from which to raise written expression. Within every human being there are unspoken thoughts and memories; there is buried treasure.

STAGED PLAYREADING Host: Julie GIlbert

 Rob, Robbin, Roberta by Dan Seymour

In the wake of Hillary Clinton, a woman of many guises, comes Rob, Robbin, Roberta, a powerful creation of one woman percieved three ways and the perplexed man who adored her yet may want to destory her.  The play poses the question of whether a strong identity preceded achievement or whether achievement  precedes identity.  This is a play for women and men of all ages.
