SUMMARY:Writers' Circle for Veterans (canceled)
DESCRIPTION:Tuesdays\, March 3 – April 7\, 2020 @ 8pm\nThe Writers’ Circle meets after the Writing Workshop in San Marcos.\nLocation: San Marcos\, TX 78666 (contact us for new location information) \nWorkshop for Veterans in San Marcos\, Texas\nTuesdays\, Workshop 7-8pm\, Circle 8-9pm\nMarch 3-April 7\, 2020 \nEach session of the six-week rotation is divided into two sections— a writing class and a writers’ circle. \nAnyone may attend both or only one section each week. \n\nThe first hour will be a class that consists of reading to be completed before class (or in class if time allows)\, discussion over the reading\, lessons on key concepts or ideas within creative writing\, writing prompts\, and writing prompts.\nThe second hour will consist of sharing and discussing each other’s’ work.\n\nCourse Description: Every person has a story to tell. Each life experience brings its own truth about existence in the world. Sometimes that truth is personal and can be seen through perseverance in the face of trauma or hardship. Other times\, that story exists in the world that we observe\, in the way people interact at a bowling alley or in the buzzing of bees as they pollinate a garden. This course is designed to help people find a way to tell their stories while learning the tools established by other writers. Whether a person wants to write about the time the cook spilled diesel fuel into the green beans on deployment or about the sharp pain that pierces their heart when visiting the gravesite of a close friend or relative\, their story matters. This course will give veterans the tools to evaluate literature\, write about their experiences\, and express the truths they have learned in lives built on service. It will focus on teaching fiction\, nonfiction\, and poetry in order to give veterans a number of tools in writing their truths. \nLearning Outcomes: Participants will be able to identify key concepts within fiction\, poetry\, and creative nonfiction. They will be able to apply these concepts in creating their own stories\, poems\, and essays. Through creative writing\, they will explore their own personal truths and find catharsis through expression. \nInstructor: Clayton Bradshaw writes poetry\, fiction\, and nonfiction that recognizes hard truths and holds the world accountable. He graduated from Sam Houston State University with a BA in English and currently participates in the MFA-Creative Writing program at Texas State University where he also teaches Freshman English. His work can be found in Barren Magazine\, The Deadly Writers Patrol; r.kv.r.y; Collateral; and War\, Literature\, and the Arts. His novel-in-progress\, Quietus\, looks to change the veteran narrative while exploring the inherited consequences of war far beyond personal trauma.

As always\, we’re open to work in any genre: music\, spoken word\, improv\, skits\, storytelling\, dance\, poems or prose… Anything you can perform! \nWhen: 7pm – Saturday\, April 4th\nWhere: Online via Zoom.\nHere’s the link: https://zoom.us/j/742292394\nNote: This event will be Live Captioned. \nIf you are worried about using your data you can join the fun by calling 1-346-248-7799 to dial-in then use the meeting code: 742 292 394 \nFor this open mic\, we’re especially interested in work that’s keeping you healthy and grounded as we physically distance ourselves. Have you written a poem or song (or found one) that’s helped get you through? Been practicing a dance routine that lets you move through the days with a little more joy? We invite you to share it with the community from your home stage! \nIf you’re a little shy\, this could be your chance to take the first step. If you turn your video off\, or perform off-screen\, or put your pet in front of the camera. \nOr you can tune in just to connect with your community and give us those “clap” reacts. \nThe show will be shorter than usual\, so we will limit the number of sign up slots. Sign up is open from today through Noon on Saturday 4th of April. Click here to sign up.  \nFor more information\, email Boye Nagle or call 512-454-9912.

DESCRIPTION:Tuesdays\, March 3 – April 7\, 2020 @ 8pm\nThe Writers’ Circle meets after the Writing Workshop in San Marcos.\nLocation: San Marcos\, TX 78666 (contact us for new location information) \nWorkshop for Veterans in San Marcos\, Texas\nTuesdays\, Workshop 7-8pm\, Circle 8-9pm\nMarch 3-April 7\, 2020 \nEach session of the six-week rotation is divided into two sections— a writing class and a writers’ circle. \nAnyone may attend both or only one section each week. \n\nThe first hour will be a class that consists of reading to be completed before class (or in class if time allows)\, discussion over the reading\, lessons on key concepts or ideas within creative writing\, writing prompts\, and writing prompts.\nThe second hour will consist of sharing and discussing each other’s’ work.\n\nCourse Description: Every person has a story to tell. Each life experience brings its own truth about existence in the world. Sometimes that truth is personal and can be seen through perseverance in the face of trauma or hardship. Other times\, that story exists in the world that we observe\, in the way people interact at a bowling alley or in the buzzing of bees as they pollinate a garden. This course is designed to help people find a way to tell their stories while learning the tools established by other writers. Whether a person wants to write about the time the cook spilled diesel fuel into the green beans on deployment or about the sharp pain that pierces their heart when visiting the gravesite of a close friend or relative\, their story matters. This course will give veterans the tools to evaluate literature\, write about their experiences\, and express the truths they have learned in lives built on service. It will focus on teaching fiction\, nonfiction\, and poetry in order to give veterans a number of tools in writing their truths. \nLearning Outcomes: Participants will be able to identify key concepts within fiction\, poetry\, and creative nonfiction. They will be able to apply these concepts in creating their own stories\, poems\, and essays. Through creative writing\, they will explore their own personal truths and find catharsis through expression. \nInstructor: Clayton Bradshaw writes poetry\, fiction\, and nonfiction that recognizes hard truths and holds the world accountable. He graduated from Sam Houston State University with a BA in English and currently participates in the MFA-Creative Writing program at Texas State University where he also teaches Freshman English. His work can be found in Barren Magazine\, The Deadly Writers Patrol; r.kv.r.y; Collateral; and War\, Literature\, and the Arts. His novel-in-progress\, Quietus\, looks to change the veteran narrative while exploring the inherited consequences of war far beyond personal trauma.

SUMMARY:Audio Described Performance: Roe (canceled)
DESCRIPTION:Roe\nApril 15\, 2020 @ 8pm\nThe Topfer at ZACH Theatre \nWritten by Lisa Loomer\n“At age 27\, Austin attorney Sarah Weddington won the landmark 1973 case Roe v Wade that legalized abortion\, making her the youngest person to ever successfully argue a case before the Supreme Court. A national debate ensued\, and a divide in America endures over this controversial issue. What most people don’t know is that after the case\, Ms. Weddington and Norma McCorvey\, “Jane Roe” the plaintiff\, took divergent life paths that reflect the complicated polarization in our culture. Poignant\, surprising\, and with unexpected humor\, Roe illuminated the difficult choices women make and the passion each side has for its cause.” \nAge recommendation: 13 and up \nPride Night: Thursday\, April 9\, 2020\nASL Interpreted\, Audio Described\, and Open Captioned: Wednesday\, April 15\, 2020\nPost-Show Discussion: Wednesday\, April 15\, 2020\nChampagne Opening: Thursday\, April 16\, 2020 \nEvent info: https://tickets.zachtheatre.org/single/PSDetail.aspx?psn=9567 \nRegular Box Office Hours: Monday – Friday\, 12 p.m. – 5 p.m.\, 512-476-0594 ext 1
