Writing for Live Performance: A Workshop with Marcus Youssef

On August 20th, writer-in-residence Marcus Youssef gave a one-day workshop for emerging writers focusing on dialogue and character-driven writing and storytelling. 

The workshop was held outside and in the studio/shed on the secluded grounds of the Brian and Sarah McLoughlin Regional Park at Williams Beach in Merville. Eight writers attended, including novelists, spoken word artists, children’s book writers, poets, playwrights and one writer from Boston who just happened to be in the area.
