 ...and no, that's not as brusque as it might sound!   Shut Up! You Can't Tell Me What To Do. You're Not My Real Dad!

'If it's going up in May, Miller, why are you talking about it now?'  Because we need plays!  This is where you come in... The first phase of Shut Up! is the playwriting phase...and that starts this Wednesday at 130pm.  It's easy stuff, a fantastic group of people led by directors Ainsley Leof and Abby Steward, and fun!   Want to know more?  Come to the Writer's Workshop on Wednesday, or email the directors, er, directly at:  ShutUpIsSwag@gmail.com Link to the Writer's Workshop:  https://pps-net.zoom.us/j/87413285459
