SUMMARY:Write Now: A Playwriting Intensive to Jumpstart Your Play
DESCRIPTION:Photo credit: Sabrina Reeves\nThis workshop will give budding and experienced playwrights a forum in which to hear their work read aloud and have it commented on\, supported\, and developed. Limited to 12 participants. \nThis 8-week workshop is designed to get your play out of your head and onto the page. Through a combination of in-class writing exercises and reading scripts aloud\, it will allow playwrights to take their scripts to the next level. \nTopics covered will include: \n\nCharacter development\nStructure\nDialogue\nStakes\nRe-writes.\n\nEach week\, selected participants will bring in sections of their work for feedback. \nThe workshop will be more fun and useful to participants who have a play that they are already working on\, a few scenes\, or at the very least\, an outline of the idea they wish to pursue. It may be of particular interest (and complementary) to those who have taken an Introduction to Playwriting workshop. Participants can expect to come out of the workshop with a more developed script as well as tools for carrying on with their work and some ideas/suggestions of where to go and what to do with a finished draft.

SUMMARY:True Reads Book Club - Trick Mirror: Reflections on Self-Delusion
DESCRIPTION:Come discuss the most interesting books in new Non-Fiction with our True Reads book club! Happening every 4-6 weeks hosted by Librairie Drawn & Quarterly staff. \nFor our OCTOBER meeting\, we’ll be reading Trick Mirror: Reflection on Self-Delusion by Jia Tolentino. The book club will meet at La Petite Librairie Drawn & Quarterly\, 176 Bernard Ouest at 7pm. This month’s meeting is hosted by Rachel. \nJia Tolentino is a peerless voice of her generation\, tackling the conflicts\, contradictions\, and sea changes that define us and our time. Now\, in this dazzling collection of nine entirely original essays\, written with a rare combination of give and sharpness\, wit and fearlessness\, she delves into the forces that warp our vision\, demonstrating an unparalleled stylistic potency and critical dexterity. \nTrick Mirror is an enlightening\, unforgettable trip through the river of self-delusion that surges just beneath the surface of our lives. This is a book about the incentives that shape us\, and about how hard it is to see ourselves clearly through a culture that revolves around the self. In each essay\, Tolentino writes about a cultural prism: the rise of the nightmare social internet; the advent of scamming as the definitive millennial ethos; the literary heroine’s journey from brave to blank to bitter; the punitive dream of optimization\, which insists that everything\, including our bodies\, should become more efficient and beautiful until we die. Gleaming with Tolentino’s sense of humor and capacity to elucidate the impossibly complex in an instant\, and marked by her desire to treat the reader with profound honesty\, Trick Mirror is an instant classic of the worst decade yet. \n**We offer a 20% discount on Trick Mirror: Reflection on Self-Delusion from now until the meeting date.**
