Writer’s Night with Tori Rego: Fairy Tales, Folktales & Flights of Fancy

At once playful, frightening, comforting, timeless, and fickle, the genre of fairytale is constantly remaking itself. In this workshop we will explore the genres of fairytale and folktale in short form. Be prepared to play, experiment, reinvent, and get re-acquainted with magic in this fast-moving generative workshop.

Come through and bring whatever you prefer to write with✨

Doors open at 6:45. Workshop starts at 7P. Tickets are pay-as-you-can!
