Enjoy a classic piece of American theater amidst the timeless beauty of Green-Wood Cemetery. Our Town tells the story of Emily Webb and George Gibbs of Grover's Corners, New Hampshire, a small New England town at the turn of the twentieth century. But the lessons of Grover's Corners stretch far beyond the sleepy town, as the play touches on the beauty of life, the randomness of the universe, and celebrates spirituality and the importance of memorials and memory. Deeply rooted in American and social history, Our Town fits in perfectly with Green-Wood's own history and the hundreds of thousands of personal stories memorialized across its beautiful landscape.

Are you working on a memoir, a poem, or a story and looking for some friendly feedback? Or maybe you just want to put pen to paper and see what happens. This summer, let the exquisite monuments, stunning grounds, and timeless history in Green Wood inspire you to do just that. Join NY Writers Coalition for six weeks of writing within the gates of Green-Wood. The workshops, led by Rachel Plutzer, will help you generate new writing and fine-tune what you already have. Weather permitting, the workshop will utilize both the beautifully landscaped grounds as well as serene, historic interiors – each space inspiring and enlightening. Writers of all levels of experience and genres — poetry, fiction, memoir, and anything else — are welcome. Recommended for ages 18 and up.
