Take a look at the options that suit you.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPer the RBWG website\, here are some details to explain more and give dates/times.\n“FreeWrite is the name given to an informal gathering of writers of ALL skill levels who meet to practice their writing in a friendly and nurturing atmosphere. The goal of the FreeWrites is to provide a place and an opportunity for people to have fun with their writing\, to explore different genres\, and to do this in the company of other writing enthusiasts. Each FreeWrite is facilitated by a Rehoboth Beach Writers Guild member who has experience in teaching\, writing and/or leading such groups. Participants write prose\, songs\, poetry and fiction\, work on novels during free writes\, and start short stories. Writing prompts are often (but not always) designed to focus on a particular aspect of writing: the use of sensory details\, the necessity of strong verbs\, the craft of writing dialogue.”\n\n\nI take myself by surprise. Writing at a FreeWrite! is like throwing a surprise party for yourself.  You never know what is going to spill out on your computer screen.  Is an evil twin lurking in the machinery? Or is it my fingers that somehow acquire access to long forgotten memories\, buried dreams and nightmares? No matter how many times I ask myself\, Where did that come from\,  No matter how many times I think I should have run out of surprises by now–something unexpected jumps out from where it’s been lurking behind a load of unpacked boxes in the basement of my mind.  I didn’t know I knew that\, I think.”\n​—Sarah Barnett \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMORE LOCAL OPPORTUNITIES TO WRITE\nTraditional FreeWrites \n(visit the website for updates: FreeWrites)–and please note holiday dates when classes will not be held\nMondays \n8-10 a.m.\nRehoboth Beach Library (please use the back door).Carl Frey\, Joanne Sinsheimer\, and Tom Hoyer will alternate leading.

SUMMARY:A Carol King Christmas with Michelle Foster
DESCRIPTION:A Carole King Christmas is exactly that: a first act of Carole King’s hits\, and a female-centric second act of Christmas songs. From All I Want For Christmas Is You\, to Merry Christmas Darling\, there are songs for every audience member to connect with and sing along to. There is no better place to enjoy the holiday nostalgia than at A Carole King Christmas! \nNew York-based singer\, pianist\, actress\, and dancer\, Michelle Foster has redefined the quadruple threat. \nFoster has been touring and performing professionally since the age of 14\, when she was chosen to perform as a soloist at Disney’s Hollywood Studios for an audience of thousands. Foster is now a regular keyboardist with Gloria Gaynor’s musical director\, Mark Baron\, and a keyboardist/vocal soloist with legendary doo-wop group\, The Duprees. In the summer of 2019\, Foster was cast in her first professional musical at Axelrod Performing Arts Center. \nMonths later\, however\, Foster was selected to perform as vocalist/keyboardist with the Mercury World Tour\, produced by Terry Barber\, at The Gallo Center for the Arts in Modesto\, California. Michelle now tours internationally with Barber as a collaborative pianist and vocal soloist. While performing The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber in Canada\, Michelle “stuck out as a clear talent” (The Palace Theatre). Though Michelle’s first love was always musical theater\, her experience performing in Barber’s various tour programs opened her up to a world where her diverse talents could merge. \nAt 23 years old\, Michelle self-produced\, created and starred in Broadway 2020\, an original musical review that showcases her mastery of voice\, piano\, drama and dance as she takes audiences on a journey through Broadway hits old and new. The show premiered at The Ritz Theatre in 2019 and is currently being booked for the 2021-2022 seasons. The Broadway 2020 album is set to release in the summer of 2020. Michelle is currently launching Sweet Seasons: The Music of Carole King\, a second tour program that brings audiences on a look back at the music that shaped a generation. In addition to touring\, Michelle works as a recording artist on Fiverr and is part-owner of the private music production company\, Tunedly. \nMichelle holds a Bachelor of Science from Fairleigh Dickinson University\, with minors in chemistry and dance. She has continued her studies at The Juilliard School\, Liz Caplan Vocal Studio\, and one-on-one with the most prominent casting and creative directors in New York. \n“Michelle was amazing and it is clear she is going to have a long career ahead of her.” \n– Janet Perkins \nCopy and pics from the website
