The Craft of Comedy: Craft Talk with Harrison Scott Key
MONday
April 8th, 6-7 PM EDT
Location: The Edney Innovation Center
Attention, writers! Come to The Edney Innovation Center to hear from Writers@Work's visiting author for 2024, Harrison Scott Key. His latest book tackles a subject not usually thought of as funny: his wife's affair with a family friend. Through some soul searching and a quest for forgiveness, he learns that humor can be healing, but it's not always the answer. Bring your questions and be prepared for honesty and laughter as he discusses using humor to write about difficult topics. This in-person event is free to the public, and no advance registration is required.
