"Fluffy Rider" Is Up For Listening
April 21, 2006
"Fluffy Rider," the new radio drama from our recent Radio Drama Rama workshop, is completed and up in the Writing Gallery. The story follows Bruce, a tattooed motorcycle/bunny slipper enthusiast, on his trip overseas to a motorcycle convention. Along the way we meet an eccentric cast of characters, including Bruce's over-protective mother, a charismatic motorcycle salesman, the heiress to a sun umbrella fortune, a hundred-year-old shopkeeper and a Brooklyn lady with acid reflux. Congratulations to Ema, Phoebe, Ben, Abed and Khaled for their outstanding work as writers, actors and sound effect makers.
You Give Us 10 Minutes, We'll Give You the Truth
April 16, 2006
Drop-in tutoring is closed this week, but the staff can still hear echoes of Tariq's new radio piece - a series of interviews and musings about liars and lying. For several weeks now, Tariq's been collecting interviews with drop-in superstars, Sam, Mig (who may or may not be Russian), Alex, Martha, Marcus, and Gais (who may or may not be his brother). The rumored host of the piece is history buff, Michael Jones, of Washington, DC. Tariq will begin to edit the piece next weekâstay tuned for the final product, set to appear in our writing gallery.
New Writing at Williamsburgh
April 06, 2006
The Williamsburgh center has been seeing a lot of new regulars in the past few weeks. A lot of homework is getting done, and a lot stories are being written, especially on the electric typewriter. The writing ranges widely, from personal experience ("Once Upon a Time I Saw a Dog" by Rafael, 6) to absurdist fiction ("The Girl Who Lived in a Nose" by Kadesha, 11). Johanna and Anheny, 9, continue work on a series of books they started on their own, and Michael, 10, has just begun a horror story about a birthday party in a haunted basement. Everyone seems pretty excited about seeing their work in print, and the first collection of stories from Williamsburgh is coming soon.
