Write Treatment Workshop with Emily Rubin

At Ancram Opera House
Thursday, July 6th
3PM - 5PM

The Write Treatment Workshops are a place where people can gather to process illness, as well as take a break from the rigors of treatment by exploring personal history through guided writing prompts.

The Write Treatment Workshops were created by Emily Rubin in 2011 after she completed treatment for breast cancer. This workshop will engage attendees in the craft of writing as a creative and therapeutic practice. While this workshop originated to engage cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers, attendees from all walks of life are welcome.

For this workshop, Rubin will share her story of cancer and writing, as well as writings of participants from the Write Treatment Anthology Vol. 1. The participants will also write from a prompt, and then share what they have written with the group.

MONODIALOGUE with Seth McNeill

At Ancram Opera House
SATURDAY, July 8th
10AM - 12PM

The interruptions and self-contradictions in normal conversations and stream of consciousness can resemble an absurdist play when written down. Through free-writing exercises, discussion, and sharing of work, participants will begin to build delightfully inarticulate self-dialogues that reveal character in ways that a perfectly crafted monologue never could.
