| Life Stories - Day | Joan Motyka |
| Capturing the story of a life - your own or another’s - starts with the decision to do it. Then comes craft and setting down the story. In a supportive environment, this class will help you explore your experiences and shape them into an engaging narrative. As you write your memoir, we’ll look at the significance of people, places and events in a life story, examine how memoirists tell their tales, and explore narrative techniques. All levels are welcome. Joan Motyka, a former newspaper reporter, has been an editor and writing coach at The New York Times.

The joy of reading a play will enhance your understanding and appreciation of any theatre performance. Scripts will be provided. Kate Long has been teaching playwriting for over 20 years for such theaters as the Manhattan Theatre Club, Playwrights Horizons and the Ensemble Studio Theatre.
