(and ELA extra credit!)

Join us during February for a series of free, exciting and unique writing workshops for all ages! To sign up for workshops, call 617-442-5400, drop by our center or email info826boston.org. Please note that in order to ensure participation and allow as many students as possible to attend our workshops, we are now requiring a $10 deposit upon registration, which is fully refundable upon attendance.

The Bathtub is Screaming.
Thursday, February 23th, 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm.
In this workshop, students will create effective worlds in which supernatural, alien, or completely illogical occurrences fit smoothly and serve to illustrate important real-life themes. Students will learn how to draw boundaries within these magical worlds and discuss how sometimes fantasy can be even “realer than the real.”

Zip Code Stories
Wednesday, February 22 and Friday, February 24, 1:00 - 3:00 pm, (two-sessions) Inspired by the popular WBUR program, Zip Code Stories are our own tales about the neighborhoods that make Greater Boston unique. Writers will be invited to explore their emotional connections to the places that have meaning to them, and then practice the art of performing their pieces for possible broadcast. Drum Magazine’s Katrina Grigg-Saito and Henriette Lazaridis Power will facilitate and lead this 2-session workshop.

Good Advice
Wednesday, February 22, 10:00 am - 12:00 pm.
Teacher: Meredith Goldstein, from the Boston Globe. How does an advice columnist give good advice? In this workshop, students will learn the empathetic skills needed for this tricky task.

Workshops are held at 826 Boston, located at 3035 Washington Street in Egleston Square.
