Writing the Impossible Saturday, June 26 2-4pm Dougherty Art Center 1110 Barton Springs Road Cost: $20 for ASW/ $35 for non-members Playwright Jose Rivera encourages us to include at least one impossible thing in each of our plays. In the play that you are writing or even just thinking about, what is your one impossible thing? What *can* it be? We’ll study Rivera’s “36 Assumptions About Playwriting,” and specifically the idea of impossibility. The workshop will also include writing exercises to make room for impossibility in character, dialogue, scene direction and events.
