SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Maggie Perrin-Key
DESCRIPTION:Maggie Perrin-Key: Foreseeable Past\nExhibit through September 3\, 2023\nArtist talk: Thursday\, August 31\, 6 pm with reception to follow\n\nMaggie Perrin-Key is an artist and muralist based in Roanoke\, VA. She earned her B.A. in studio art from Hollins University in 2017 and has shown her work regionally since then. This site-specific installation features 12 colorful and exuberant large-scale acrylic paintings with additional elements painted directly on the museum walls. Perrin-Key explains\, “As vulnerable as it is to create artwork in my studio\, I have found painting murals in public spaces to be exponentially more so. And I find so much joy in the experience of truly activating a space through shape\, color\, and form with my paint.”\n\nPerrin-Key has been included in group exhibitions at Olin Hall Galleries at Roanoke College; Artspace Gallery in Richmond\, Virginia; and Charlotte Russell Contemporary in Raleigh\, North Carolina. Perrin-Key was also the recipient of the City of Roanoke’s 2022 Art in Place grant for public art installation.\n\nThe exhibition Maggie Perrin-Key: Foreseeable Past and its related programs are sponsored in part by the city of Roanoke through the Roanoke Arts Commission

SUMMARY:No Shame Theatre
DESCRIPTION:No Shame Theatre is an experiential performance lab where writers\, performers\, and audience are constantly changing roles. Anything can happen and usually does in this late-night venue for original work. We take the first 15 pieces to walk in the door and there are only three rules: pieces must be original (no copyright violations)\, short (five minutes or less)\, and not break anything (including the law). Inside those rules you can do pretty much anything you’re interested in trying in front of a live audience—plays\, monologues\, songs\, dance\, poetry\, mime\, juggling\, comedy\, tragedy\, improvisation\, dada\, magic—we’ve even seen people do floral arrangements! Pieces are accepted starting at 10 p.m.\, doors open at 10:30 p.m.\, and the show starts at 11 p.m.\, running on average an hour and a half. Admission: free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Wednesday Night Lab Readings
DESCRIPTION:July 26: I Am a Black Woman by Allana Pommier\nNew location: Talmadge Recital Hall\, Bradley\n\nThese readings\, which are early drafts of student-written plays\, are presented as part of the Playwright’s Lab course. The reading is followed by a two-tier feedback session. The first tier is based on the Liz Lerman Critical Response\, with the playwright taking notes on audience reactions to things that worked\, questions they feel are still unanswered\, things that didn’t work as well as the strengths we identified earlier\, and questions that the playwright might have. The second tier of feedback is closed\, and only students registered for the course and faculty attend. This session is less structured\, and playwrights can engage with commenters directly. In this way\, students are exposed to both kinds of feedback so that they have a nurturing environment as well as preparation for the more raw responses one could encounter in a review or blog comments.

SUMMARY:No Shame Theatre
DESCRIPTION:No Shame Theatre is an experiential performance lab where writers\, performers\, and audience are constantly changing roles. Anything can happen and usually does in this late-night venue for original work. We take the first 15 pieces to walk in the door and there are only three rules: pieces must be original (no copyright violations)\, short (five minutes or less)\, and not break anything (including the law). Inside those rules you can do pretty much anything you’re interested in trying in front of a live audience—plays\, monologues\, songs\, dance\, poetry\, mime\, juggling\, comedy\, tragedy\, improvisation\, dada\, magic—we’ve even seen people do floral arrangements! Pieces are accepted starting at 10 p.m.\, doors open at 10:30 p.m.\, and the show starts at 11 p.m.\, running on average an hour and a half. Admission: free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Wednesday Night Lab Readings
DESCRIPTION:July 12: Hamlet’s Ghost\, by Emily Flieschhauer\nThese readings\, which are early drafts of student-written plays\, are presented as part of the Playwright’s Lab course. The reading is followed by a two-tier feedback session. The first tier is based on the Liz Lerman Critical Response\, with the playwright taking notes on audience reactions to things that worked\, questions they feel are still unanswered\, things that didn’t work as well as the strengths we identified earlier\, and questions that the playwright might have. The second tier of feedback is closed\, and only students registered for the course and faculty attend. This session is less structured\, and playwrights can engage with commenters directly. In this way\, students are exposed to both kinds of feedback so that they have a nurturing environment as well as preparation for the more raw responses one could encounter in a review or blog comments.

SUMMARY:Writing for Children Intensive: Writing is Rewriting
DESCRIPTION:Hollins University’s graduate programs in children’s literature are renowned for their emphasis on the study\, writing\, and illustration of work in that field. We also offer one-week intensive workshops for teachers and librarians\, aspiring authors and illustrators\, and alumnae/i of Hollins’ undergraduate and graduate programs. Whether you want to grow your skills as a picture book creator\, scholar\, or selector\, or would like to enhance your ability to write for children\, these workshops offer practical guidance through the expertise of accomplished artists and authors.\nWriting for Children Intensive: Writing is Rewriting\nFinished a first draft? Or have a solid chunk of a novel? Now what? The best writers are really revisers. Join this intensive to find the right ingredients to transform your rough pages into a compelling book for young people. Writing demands complex characters\, high stakes\, a layered world\, and research.\n\nIn this workshop\, the emphasis will be on the building blocks of craft: the one-line pitch\, voice and character\, worldbuilding\, plot and pace\, and revision.\n\nThe core of the intensive is an 18-hour intermediate to advanced writing tutorial. Limited to eight to 12 participants on a first-registered\, first-served basis\, the participants will exchange up to 50-75 pages of work with the instructor and other writers in the class.\n\nInstructor: Dhonielle Clayton\n\n 	More Information Here (PDF)\n 	Workshop Details (PDF)\n 	Printable Registration Form (PDF)

SUMMARY:Overnight Sensations
DESCRIPTION:Since 2006\, the Playwright’s Lab at Hollins has partnered with Mill Mountain Theatre to present a micro-brewed theatre festival. On Friday night six playwrights are randomly paired with six directors\, who then randomly draw from a hat a variety of writing prompts and a preselected cast of local actors. Before 9 a.m. the next morning\, they have to write a 10-minute play. They meet with their directors over a continental breakfast on Saturday morning and make any last-minute changes before the actors arrive and the plays begin rehearsal. When 8 p.m. rolls around\, and the audience are in their seats\, the show begins!
