At 2:00 p.m. today, Write On! program creator and lead instructor, Janet Reynolds, hosted a virtual panel discussion “A Tale of Three Program Participants” with Write On! alumni Lauren, Freddy, and Kim. These alumni were originally booked to perform at MHC’s Annual Fundraiser, the Art of Wellbeing: Truth be Told on May 1, 2020. While that event was cancelled for the health and safety of our performers, audience, and community at large, we were pleased to have them join us virtually for this special panel discussion and performance of pieces they’ve worked on since being in Write On!.
Below is the recording from today’s discussion:
