WHAT'S NEXT Writing Real: Create Compelling Characters in Theatre Thursday, December 10, 5:30–8:30 p.m. In order for a character to come alive on the stage, a character must have a driving need. Playwright, theatre director, and OAC Artist in Residence Tony Dallas will help writers explore the forces that compel a character through monologues and dialogue. It is suggested to read Oedipus the King by Sophocles in preparation for the workshop. Reduce, Reuse, RECREATE! Saturday, December 12, 2-4 p.m. OAC Artist in Residence Eric Marlow will lead a family workshop based on re-purposing functional objects such as plastic bottles into works of art, handmade games, and wearable fashion. The workshop is geared toward children ages 6 and up. All children must be accompanied by a registered adult.
