Outer Limits presents: Writing for the Midscale

A workshop for writers who have had their first full-length play professionally performed and have shown a commitment to a career as a professional playwright.

Working with award winning Essex playwright/screen writer Kenny Emson, you will explore what it means to write for larger spaces and audiences.

The workshop will include writing exercises, tips on pitching and idea generation and look to help writers navigate the transition from studio spaces to mid-scale.

Footloose presented by New City College

When Ren and his mother move from Chicago to a small farming town, he is prepared for the inevitable adjustment period at his new high school. But he’s not prepared for the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing instituted by the local preacher, who is determined to exercise control over the town’s youth. When the reverend’s rebellious daughter sets her sights on Ren, her roughneck boyfriend tries to sabotage Ren’s reputation, with many of the locals eager to believe the worst about the new kid.
