Work on your craft in a fun, creative atmosphere with other writers and help us build the script for our Haunted Library!
Scripts are an art form. Just like short stories and novels, they must be crafted carefully. Join us in crafting the script for the evening portion of the Library’s Halloween event. We will have a basic outline drafted of the route tours will take through the 7th arrondissement on the evening of 31 October 2020. During this workshop, we’ll create scary vignettes for actors to perform, and a tale for our tour guides to recount during the evening. Help us create an evening of scares for visitors who attend the event on Saturday 31 October. New writers, fans of scary stories and professionals are all welcome to attend!
This event is free and open to Library members ages 12-adult and will be hosted virtually. Advance registration is required (sign-up HERE). Registered participants will be sent the info about how to join the meeting.
Send an email to Celeste, our Children’s and Teens’ Services Manager, with questions about this event, or any of our events for children and teens: celeste@americanlibraryinparis.org.
