After the reading, Dunne will join moderator Ann Filmer for a conversation about art as inspiration for storytelling, his writing process, his experience teaching playwriting, and what participants can expect in one of his workshops, including It Happened One Weekend.
A reception at Riverside Arts Center will follow the program. All are welcome.

Cape Cod Morning by Will Dunne
Judith may be old and infirm and losing her mind. But she’s not stupid. Her daughter, Milly, is up to something and Judith wants to know what. Why does Milly keep looking out the window? And where on earth is Judith’s favorite chair? A one-act drama inspired by Edward Hopper’s 1950 neoclassical painting “Cape Cape Morning.”
Cape Cod Morning will be read by Diane Dorsey and Jennie Moreau.
Will is the author of THE DRAMATIC WRITER’S COMPANION (2009, Second Edition 2017), THE ARCHITECTURE OF STORY (2016), and CHARACTER, SCENE, AND STORY (2017) all published internationally by the University of Chicago Press. His plays have been presented worldwide in three languages and earned numerous honors, including three selections by the Eugene O’Neill Theatre Center for the U.S. National Playwrights Conference and a Charles MacArthur Fellowship awarded by the O’Neill for outstanding comedy.
