Barr as he leads a hands-on workshop on the essentials of creating an original episode of TV. In a fun, three-hour session, you’ll get a taste of what it’s like to be in an actual Hollywood TV writers’ room. You’ll learn how to generate stories, create characters, wrestle with dramatic structure, and maybe even pitch jokes. Open to any members of the UMaine community interested in media, performance, writing, and entertainment — or anyone who simply wants to observe and quietly judge. Advanced registration is required for those wishing to sit around the table and participate.

(Quiet observers/judgers need not register, but must maintain respect for the workshop and its participants.)

Contact Stephen E. King Chair, Caroline Bicks, to express your interest in registering: caroline.bicks@maine.edu. Include a few lines explaining your connection to the University and why you want to participate. Space is limited.

Location TBA. This is a free event.
