The first half of each session will be spent discussing some craft techniques for writing about particular genres (i.e.\, films\, music videos\, etc.) and any relevant reading. The second half of the class will be allotted for writing and exploration. Together\, we will read and discuss examples of writers responding to art in personal ways\, particularly essays and poems; engage with generative writing prompts\, and complete one round of workshop. Students will also have the opportunity to introduce the rest of the class to at least one work of art they find compelling. This class is open to students of all levels. \nGrace Morse (she/her) is a writer and third year MFA candidate in the Nonfiction Writing Program at Iowa.

SUMMARY:Riverside Theatre Presents: Native Gardens by Karen Zacarías
DESCRIPTION:Riverside Theatre is pleased to announce its upcoming production of Native Gardens by Karen Zacarías\, a sharp\, hilarious\, and timely comedy that explores themes of culture\, class\, and the boundaries we build—both literal and figurative. Directed by Kirsten Brooks\, the production will run from February 28 through March 16\, 2025\, at Riverside Theatre\, located at 119 E. College Street. Tickets are on sale now at www.riversidetheatre.org/gardens. \n  \nIn Native Gardens\, good fences make for prickly neighbors. Pablo\, a rising lawyer in a powerful firm\, and his very pregnant wife\, Tania\, move into a historic\, well-to-do neighborhood in Washington\, D.C.\, eager to build their dream home and garden. But their plans clash with their next-door neighbors\, Frank and Virginia\, a well-established couple with a prize-worthy garden of their own. What begins as a simple property line disagreement soon blossoms into a full-scale border dispute! Amid conflicting assumptions about community\, identity\, and the American dream\, is peaceful coexistence possible? \nKaren Zacarías\, one of the most produced modern playwrights in the U.S.\, is known for her witty and incisive explorations of contemporary issues. Native Gardens has been hailed for its ability to tackle serious themes with humor and heart\, making it a perfect fit for Riverside’s mission to present theatre that entertains\, challenges\, and inspires. In Zacarías words\, “I think comedy is disarming. I mean literally. You let down your armor so you can laugh. And if you laugh\, you’re taking things in. I want people who disagree to watch this play and be able to laugh at themselves.” \n\nThe cast features Riverside Theatre’s founders\, Ron Clark* and Jody Hovland* as Frank and Virginia\, as well as Franco Machado-Pesce as Pablo\, Jessica Murillo Kemp as Tania\, and Natanael Payán and Ariana Martinez in the ensemble.

SUMMARY:Faith & Four Letter Words
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an empowering afternoon of lunch\, signature cocktails\, and a live show at The Heights Rooftop on March 1st\, 2025. Doors open @11:15 am\, show starts @12:00 pm.\nIn a world where women in the workplace can sometimes be pitted against one another\, especially in the cutthroat industry of television news\, Amanda Goodman and Tara Thomas bucked the stereotype and became fast friends. When they decided to open up about their post- traumatic stress from life as a news anchor\, their faith and four letter words podcast resonated with women all over who face similar challenges in the workplace and environments often controlled by men\, or women that want to keep the females in their midst in check. It was faith that led Tara to leave TV news behind\, and a healthy dose of four-letter words and frustration that caused Amanda to walk through the exit door. They will be real and raw about how their experiences shaped them into the women they are today\, ones committed to empowering ladies of all ages and stages to use your voice for change and for good!

SUMMARY:Riverside Theatre Presents: Native Gardens by Karen Zacarías
DESCRIPTION:Riverside Theatre is pleased to announce its upcoming production of Native Gardens by Karen Zacarías\, a sharp\, hilarious\, and timely comedy that explores themes of culture\, class\, and the boundaries we build—both literal and figurative. Directed by Kirsten Brooks\, the production will run from February 28 through March 16\, 2025\, at Riverside Theatre\, located at 119 E. College Street. Tickets are on sale now at www.riversidetheatre.org/gardens. \n  \nIn Native Gardens\, good fences make for prickly neighbors. Pablo\, a rising lawyer in a powerful firm\, and his very pregnant wife\, Tania\, move into a historic\, well-to-do neighborhood in Washington\, D.C.\, eager to build their dream home and garden. But their plans clash with their next-door neighbors\, Frank and Virginia\, a well-established couple with a prize-worthy garden of their own. What begins as a simple property line disagreement soon blossoms into a full-scale border dispute! Amid conflicting assumptions about community\, identity\, and the American dream\, is peaceful coexistence possible? \nKaren Zacarías\, one of the most produced modern playwrights in the U.S.\, is known for her witty and incisive explorations of contemporary issues. Native Gardens has been hailed for its ability to tackle serious themes with humor and heart\, making it a perfect fit for Riverside’s mission to present theatre that entertains\, challenges\, and inspires. In Zacarías words\, “I think comedy is disarming. I mean literally. You let down your armor so you can laugh. And if you laugh\, you’re taking things in. I want people who disagree to watch this play and be able to laugh at themselves.” \n\nThe cast features Riverside Theatre’s founders\, Ron Clark* and Jody Hovland* as Frank and Virginia\, as well as Franco Machado-Pesce as Pablo\, Jessica Murillo Kemp as Tania\, and Natanael Payán and Ariana Martinez in the ensemble.
