Saturday March 10th, 2pm you can hear some wonderfully creative poems and short stories written but the Older But Wiser Writing Class. WHERE? Geezer Gallery in Multnomah Village. Come....it's free and it's fun!
on another note......
Thank you Regional Arts and Culture Council! We have a grant from them to fund another round of plays.
The writers are fantastic....! Not because they are elders in our community but because their talents help bust the myths of our society about what aging means.
Eleven residents of Rose Schnitzer Manor gather weekly to write poetry, short stories and one-act plays!
The RACC grant allows us to bring Playwright Matt Zrebski on board to teach the residents about the secrets of good playwriting. His insights and humor make for enjoyable classes. His students are just weeks away from finishing up our one-acts.
Stay tuned for dates and venue information. It's coming soon!
JAM 2012 is in the works! Although we have plans to premiere a musical event in February (stay tuned!),
JAM '12 is pleased to announce an encore presentation of ACTING OUR AGE!
January 29th, 2pm at the Rose Schnitzer Manor in Zidell Hall!
The Portland Chapter of National Council of Jewish Women are sponsoring this performance as part of their annual meeting. We are thrilled that they have chosen to use Roe Schnitzer Manor for the venue. This will allow all the residents access!
The production will again be directed by Matt Zrebski. The actors will be announced shortly!
We'll post photos of the writers and more info about the plays soon.
Tomorrow I will post an update about plans for Acting Our Age 2012~!!!!!!
TWO wonderful projects are still underway.
The Older but Wiser writers at Rose Schnitzer Manor are in the revision stages of their original 1-act plays.
We are searching for a venue and some actors......! YES, these plays will be read by professional actors in a public setting. The plays are fabulous, even in their infancy. You will want to see these plays!
The kids photo group has been actively putting together their photos. Once we have a venue, we'll host a display of their creative efforts.....
please stay tuned!
Rose Schnitzer Manor Writers will demonstrate their skills in story telling Thursday May 22nd at the Older but Wiser Writers Cafe located in the heart of Rose Schnitzer Manor.
Cosponsored by Jewish Arts Month and Cedar Sinai Park in Portland, this will be a special evening.
Jazz pianist and KMHD radio DJ personality George Fendel will provide musical entertainment from 6:45 to 7pm (ish) and then our writers will take to the microphone and wow the audience with their poetry and stories.
Refreshments will be available!
Bring a hankie or 2...you will laugh until you cry, and you certainly be touched by their more sobering memories.
Judge this book by its cover!
Five dutiful writers who are also residents of Rose Schnitzer Manor have just assembled their first anthology. The group assembled in October and have been meeting weekly to write personal narratives, poetry and more!
The Older But Wiser Writers Cafe will be staged in the Zidell meeting room at Rose Schnitzer. Beer, wine, and other refreshments will be available to their eager audience. Will you be there?
This is one of the last events happening under the Jam "umbrella" for 2010.
COME SUPPORT THESE YOUNG AT HEART WRITERS AND LEARN A LITTLE HISTORY ALONG WITH HEARING SOME GREAT STORIES! YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU DID!
