A creativity workshop titled "Die Vampire, Die!" is held Jan. 3, from 10 AM-5 PM.

Here's how the workshop is described: "Based on the song 'Die Vampire, Die!' from the hit original Broadway musical [title of show], a vampire is defined as 'any person, thought or feeling that stands between you and your creative self expression'. This workshop, led by [title of show] star Susan Blackwell invites participants to get their creative juices flowing and their ideas up on their feet. Themes of this workshop include: Personal Empowerment Creative Freedom Self-Expression Brave Risktaking."
