DREAM ACTS  - A  Reading & Panel Discussion. Created by The DREAM Act Union. Written by Chiori Miyagawa, Mia Chung, Jessica Litwak, Saviana Stanescu, and Andrea Thome. Directed by Handan Ozbilgin. Featuring: IHS & LAGCC Students

Fri, Apr 12 @ 4-6pm ● Little Theater
In Dream Acts, five undocumented students from Nigeria, Mexico, Ukraine, Korea, and Jordan relate stories of their extraordinary challenges in living ordinary lives under the Homeland Security radar. Each story is moving and urgent; some are funny, others are tragic, and through their experiences, we learn about the DREAM Act and the secret lives led by undocumented students.

A Staged Reading will be followed by Panel Discussion moderated by Saviana Stanescu. Panelists include Judith Sloan( Co-founder  EarSay, Co-writer Crossing the Boulevard)

For reservations, please email: rsvp-lpac@lagcc.cuny.edu

Send Submissions to LiteraryLaguardia@gmail.com

Deadline for Submissions May 2^nd 2013


The Creative Writing Committee of the LaGuardia English Department is happy to announce our Fifth Annual Creative Writing Read-a-Thon for students, staff, faculty, and alumni. Come celebrate our multi-talented LaGuardia community and National Poetry Month by sharing your work during an afternoon of back-to-back five minute readings from 2:30 to 5pm on Wednesday, April 10th in the Cobblestone Courtyard (Poolside Café in event of foul weather). All genres of creative writing are welcome - stories, poems, personal essays, plays - as are all LaGuardians, from any department, full and part time, whether creative writing is your main focus or one of your many avocations.  There's only one rule: keep it to five minutes or less, so plan on finding a reading that will fit.  Light refreshments will be served.

We had a wonderful event last year at our fourth annual event, and we expect slots to fill quickly this year, so please contact us to sign up as soon as possible. Also, if you know students who have work to read, please have them email us to sign up. Let us know which half-hour interval between 2:30 and 5 would work best for you and we'll put you on the list!

Contact Carrie Conners, cconners@lagcc.cuny.edu, or Christopher Schmidt, prof.schmidt.lagcc@gmail.com, to sign up for a slot or with questions.
