Class Description
In this workshop for writers of all backgrounds/playwrights of all levels, students will learn some secret tricks to making their adaptations stand out. Students will come into the class with required reading of a well known fairytale and come out of the class with a blueprint for the beginning of a short or full length adaptation.
Drawing from her own extensive experience with adaptation, Catherine will help students realize that adaptations are all about your personal relationship to the work and what excites you about the original story. Through discussion, we will explore why audiences always love an adaptation and how to make your stand out. We will also do a series of writing exercises to help students start writing their own adaptations.

With one of the tallest buildings – and most spectacular views – in town, the Hugh’s View rooftop terrace serves as The Studios’ creative space in the sky. The terrace sits four stories above street level and offers panoramic views of the island. The Kitwald Stage glows in the golden twilight of our sunset performances.
With original seating from its days as a Masonic temple, the Helmerich Theater has been updated to also include floor seating. As a black box theater, the set up is intimate but professional, and sets the stage for concerts and performances that leave guests feeling like they really got to know the performer.
