🎭 STEP INTO THE WORLD OF EUGENE O’NEILL 🎭

What makes a story timeless? What makes a play unforgettable?

This October, join Global Works and Hugo House for a special staged reading of selected scenes from the masterworks of Eugene O’Neill, one of the most influential voices in American theater.

✨ Three days. Powerful storytelling. A legendary playwright.

A Nobel Prize winner and the only playwright to win four Pulitzer Prizes for Drama, O’Neill transformed American theater with his raw, deeply human portrayals of life, family, and the human condition.

Join Samar Abulhassan on Tuesday, October 6 at 6 PM PT for a free online creative writing circle designed to help you shake off perfectionism and fall back in love with making things.

Each session features new prompts and approaches. Push past what you think writing should be and plunge into the strange, chaotic, and ephemeral to discover what it can be. Most of all, it's a chance to give yourself—and your fellow writers—permission to create without expectation.

Leave with new work, fresh energy, and a renewed sense of joy and pleasure in creating.

Open to adults of all ages.
