Description

The Writing Prompt Party is an opportunity for participants to work on a hilarious prompt, with time to share results at the end. The PEN Piedmont Region Chapter welcomes members and others to an in-person Open House | Prompt Party on Thursday, September 2nd at Scuppernong Books in Greensboro, North Carolina. Open House starts at 6:30 pm with light refreshments, followed by a Prompt Party at 7 pm.   One Prompt + Five Genres = Unlimited Possibilities  Prompt Party is an opportunity for participants to work on a hilarious prompt, with time to share results at the end. The goal is to collaborate, perhaps work in an unfamiliar genre, and have fun! Prompt Party-goers will receive their prompt, draw a genre from the Sorting Hat (poetry, flash fiction, newspaper article, songwriting, or one-act scene), and break into groups to create a piece based on the prompt. Then, everyone gathers again to read (or perform) their pieces, up to five minutes each.  A facilitator who specializes in each genre will guide each group.  Participation is free but space is limited. Pre-registration required.  Due to rising local COVID cases and hospitalizations, Scuppernong Books requires all customers to mask-up. Proof of vaccination is required if customers plan to enjoy cafe beverages on-site.  If you have any questions, please email PEN Across Program Director William Johnson at [email protected].  Facilitators  Krystal Smith  Quilla  Joe Killian  Ashley Lumpkin
