Join Winnie Holzman (Wicked, My So-Called Life) and Robin Schiff (Romy & Michele's High School Reunion) as they engage in a series of in-depth discussions with writers whose work they greatly admire. Each night of the six- week series, one specific work of that writer will be explored from earliest inception through final cut. The focus is on the writing process - how the writer got that idea, how they developed it, and how they approach their work. The second half of the evening will include questions from you, the audience.

The series runs from March 13 - April 18th. An optional free screening of that night's featured work will be presented prior to each class. For anyone who buys the entire series, there is a special, exclusive bonus night on April 25th.
