Bringing Life to Life Stories: A Memoir Writing Workshop (Registration is Closed)

About this event

Please join us in-person at the Riverdale Library for a memoir writing workshop with published playwright and writer/performer Frank Ingrasciotta. Storytelling is our most ancient art form, and in us, everyone has a story that wants to be told. When powerful storytelling resonates, it creates shared experiences of commonality that bonds us as a community. In this eight-session memoir writing class, we will examine various aspects of storytelling. Through writing exercises, we explore the tools of the craft that brings personal memoir to life.
