Hi George,
I was wondering if you could pass this along to the Playwrights Platform members. There is an interesting workshop class on playwriting being offered at the Gamm Theatre in Pawtucket, RI (about an hour from Newton on 95 South). It meets once a month for six months, starting in January.
I’ve taken classes at the Gamm before, and they are excellent.

Class meets the second Monday of the month from 6:30pm-9:30pm
Jan 14, Feb 11, March 11, April 8, May 13, and June 10
In this monthly workshop, students will develop a new full length-play. Writing exercises will provoke imagination and tighten the craft. Each month students will bring 10-20 pages from their new play to be discussed and critiqued in class and to receive expert feedback. Students will be given writing exercises to prompt new pages. This class will help develop a writing routine and the monthly deadline will help keep students focused and working on their projects. Students will leave this workshop with new tools and a new full-length play. The last class session will include a final showcase of student work. On your mark. Get set. Write.

Playwright Wendy Kesselman’s powerful adaptation and an ensemble of diverse actors tell an urgent and contemporary story, linking the poignancy of Anne’s diary to genocide then and now. Kesselman will lead a talkback at the 8 p.m. performance on Friday November 2.
Performed without intermission, each performance will feature a story by a survivor of genocide from such times and places as the Holocaust, Rwanda and Darfur. We learn how the story of this diary, and the Holocaust of European Jews, have not ended humankind’s bent toward hatred and genocide.
Performances will premiere new text by the playwright and will feature an inspired set design by scenographer Mirta Tocci.
Thursday November 1: 10 AM matinee, 8 PM evening
Friday November 2: 10 AM matinee, 8 PM evening (Meet Playwright Wendy Kesselman)

Just a quick note to let you know (or remind you) that Scott and I will be appearing this evening on Paul Antokolsky and Leslie Hearn’s cable program,
Taking Care, in part to promote the Playwrights’ Platform Summer Festival.
The date for the TV show is Wednesday, May 30th, between 6 and 7pm. Your segment will be a 30-40 minute joint interview, in which we can discuss your play and the festival, playwriting as an art and a craft, your experiences and goals as a playwright – whatever most interests you about writing for the stage. My co-host (and wife), Leslie Ahern, will also take part in the interview.
The program is produced by BNN-TV at their studios in Egleston Square in Roxbury, with off-street parking available. The show is transmitted live by cable and over the internet, and is then repeated on Friday and Sunday.
