Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Suzan-Lori Parks brings her Watch Me Work—a hybrid performance piece, meditation on the artistic process, and a work session—online beginning March 30. Traditionally hosted in the mezzanine of The Public Theater lobby (but not currently possible in light of the pandemic), this new virtual version will be live streamed via Zoom on HowlRound.tv.

Parks will be online with HowlRound every day this week, March 30–April 3, from 5 to 6 PM ET. Students can view the schedule and log onto HowlRound here.

During the first 20 minutes, Parks and her virtual students will work on their own writing. During the final 40 minutes, she will answer questions from students about being a writer and the writing process.
