Mind
the Gap at
New York Theater Workshop
Mind the Gap
is a free intergenerational writing workshop
with half of the participants ages 60+ and the other half high
school students. The goals are both to teach writing skills as
well as to foster better communication and understanding between
these two age groups. Through the course of the workshop, participants
from each age-group will work in pairs to write plays based on
interviews with each other. The project will culminate with participants’
work being read by professional actors.
