Game Night: Letter Jam

This month at Guild Hall Game Night we will be playing Letter Jam, the cooperative word game. Letter Jam is a game of deduction and teamwork. Each player has a secret word, unknown to themselves, with one letter revealed at a time. Players go around spelling words with each other’s letters, essentially giving clues to each other about their secret letter. Over time, your secret word will reveal itself to you through the clues you have been given by your teammates. Letter Jam is a great new word game that challenges players in a unique way to work together to solve the puzzle.

Game Night: Wavelength

This month at Guild Hall Game Night we will be playing Wavelength, a brand new social guessing game. Each round there will be a new scale, for example Easy to Hard, Essential to Inessential, or Underrated to Overrated. One player will act as the “psychic” and will be given a random position on the scale. The psychic must create a clue that their team can use to guess the secret position on the scale. For example, on the scale from Hot to Cold, if the secret position is midway on the Hot side, the psychic may say “Coffee.” Pretty hot, but not as hot as an oven, lava, or the sun. Wavelength is a very unique party game that is incredibly easy to learn and tons of fun to play. Join us!

PLAYWRITING: Process & Projects with Bill Burford

Mondays, January 20–March 2 from 6–9pm

PLAYWRITING: PROCESS & PROJECTS is a seven-week workshop designed to unleash the playwright’s inner imaginings, explore how stories emerge, and prepare for production. Producer/director Bill Burford helps writers, actors, and other artists foster each other’s work through free-drafting, reading each participant’s new pages together, and mutually supportive feedback.

Artists are encouraged to work on any kind of character-based piece for stage: plays, operas, and new forms, as well as dance, musical, puppet, or physical theater. With the performative medium left to the writer, each workshop’s focus develops with the scripts themselves, addressing a variety of concepts, processes, and techniques as needed.

The workshop concludes with a final reading where the writers can hear excerpts from their latest pages to an invited audience in our John Drew Theater.
