POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
Yesterday’s Theatre Writing Workshop reminded us all why we do this. From the writers (old and new) to the actors, everyone was so creatively invested in building these worlds on pages It was a room full of artists creating stories in real time, actors breathing life into brand new characters, and a community willing to take creative risks together. It was one of those rare spaces where connection and storytelling became the same thing We’re so grateful to everyone who joined us and can’t wait to do it again. This is only the first of many so stay tuned🖤 Created by @thesouthsidewrites Hosted at @definitiontheatre #chicago #blackart #blacktheatre #fyp #artistsofig
