The Lewes Public Library Spoken Word Society present The Writer’s Room and The Troupe, a program for High School and College Writers and Actors.

The Writer’s Room and The Troupe is a program of the Lewes Public Library Spoken Word Society. During a 4-week intensive, young (high school and college) writers and actors work together to create and develop performance pieces specifically for actors in The Troupe.

With guidance provided by Dr. Anne Colwell, professional author and University of Delaware professor, and Sadie Andros, professional actor and director of Cape Henlopen High School's Theatre Program, participants start from scratch in February and work together to prepare original pieces. 

This unique program is a wonderful opportunity for the creative writer and the actor to develop skills vital to the working professional, including writing for a specific performer, working under a deadline, and preparing material specifically intended to be heard in the public sphere.

Registration is required.
