JANE'S BRAIN
Teenaged Jane Austen has a “meeting of the minds” with the characters from her novels. Jane and her heroines discuss how important Jane’s writing will be as there are few female writers representing women and girls as they truly are, or what they dream of and hope for. Her heroines encourage her saying she will have an impact on literature and readers and influence the hearts and minds of girls and women for centuries.

BUDDING PLAYWRIGHTS' WORKSHOP
BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND
Open to anyone interested in learning the fundamentals of playwrighting, the members of this weekly January workshop will adapt some of their favorite children's books into Readers' Theatre-styled scripts to be performed during our newest venture... Drama Jr.'s Readers' Theatre Touring Troupe.
READERS' THEATRE TOURING TROUPE
NEW THIS SEASON
In collaboration with the Budding Playwrights' Workshop, the Readers' Theatre Touring Troupe will perform the works created during the January class. With minimal rehearsals and only three performances during the spring semester, the Readers' Theatre Touring Troupe is perfect for either the new drama student looking to see if drama is for them or the experienced player wishing to hone their skills in voice acting.
CASINO FATALE
REDUX
A reworking revival of the 2010 murder mystery. On a crisp autumn night, during a charity auction at a grand hotel on the banks of Siene, the who's who of Paris are embroiled in multiple scandals from jewelry heists and missing money to kidnapping and murder. Just an average night at Casino Fatale.
