Sunday Groovy Sunday

Sundays are fun days at 826NYC. Join us for weekend workshops, each unique, where you'll use your creativity, your problem-solving skills, your ability to whistle or pick things up with your toes. Meet fellow adventurers for a couple of hours each Sunday. Where will you go? You'll have to sign up to find out!

Radio Drama Rama

Imagine a time before television, when families huddled around the radio every week for the latest installment of their favorite serial dramas. What were they thinking? Why didn't they just wait a couple decades for TV? In this workshop we'll find out, as we write scenes, gather sounds, and produce an original radio play that will capture the imagination in a way no other medium can.

To Think That It Happened

We know what you're thinking: "There's no such thing as Truth Serum." But seriously, we can actually see what you're thinking. Like former CIA agents, it's our duty to find the little lies in your truths and the little truths in your lies. The only way to get away with some of the stories you've been telling is to write them down (we can't read your mind if we can't see you). Come see if you can write one truth and one lie that are so good we won't be able to tell which is which.

This workshop will conclude with a formal reading of our stories, to which guardians and friends are invited. Students need only bring their wackiest truthful tales.

Ghosts, Smelly Socks, and Other Terrifying Things

We know that you like to scare your friends and your little brother with ghost stories - now you can create your own tale of goblins, witches, or whatever it is that keeps you awake at night. We'll learn how to use suspense, character, and descriptive detail to transcribe truly terrifying tales, and the end result will be a collection of the scariest stories ever imagined.

Students need bring only their spooky imaginations. At the end of the workshop each student will receive a bound book with everyone’s stories in it.

Future-Writing

Are you up for an afternoon of reading...THE FUTURE? If you think you may have an uncanny knack for prediction, it's time to put your powers to the test! In this workshop we will develop our own methods for reading the future. By studying the forecasting techniques of other scientists, philosophers, or psychics, we will create our own version of what lays ahead. Try being an expert analyzer of chewing gum, a crush detector, or make up your own method! You have just as much knowledge of the future as anyone else - put your gut feelings to paper and see if you're right.

Superstar: Songs in the Key of You

Forget idols and INXS. You can be your own superstar. "How can I be a superstar?" you ask. Clearly, you must (super)star in your own video, featuring your own group, and your own music. In five short sessions, we'll write an original song, then direct and star in an original music video.
