The Retold Tale

The greatest stories invite new tellings, whether on the page (The Hunger Games, Robin McKinley’s Beauty, My Fair Lady), on stage (Wicked, No Rules Theatre Company’s Medea’s Got Some Issues), or on film (Malificent, the X-Men series) – why not yours? In this transporting afternoon workshop, you’ll rediscover beloved myths and fairytales and learn to recognize and make use of those elements that have made them immortal. Come prepared to read, write, and ask, “What if . . . ?” You’ll go home knowing the arc of your story in progress and all the more prepared to take inspiration from the boundless well of the past.
