With the suspension of live performances continuing indefinitely, Ciccolella and other arts professionals have found this to be a time to focus on creating and creativity. “This is an ideal time to create, expand our skills and get to meet other like-minded folks,” she said.
Austin-based actress Nancy Eyermann took the class in late spring and was inspired by the boost it gave her confidence. “In an encouraging and relaxed atmosphere, I found myself surrounded by knowledgeable peers who supported my journey,” she said. “I would recommend this class to anyone curious about writing or working on enhancing their writing skills.”
