Drawing on the distinct literary approaches of Zora Neale Hurston and Richard Wright, we explore what it means to write from\u00a0<em><i>within<\/i><\/em>\u00a0a community versus writing\u00a0<em><i>about<\/i><\/em>\u00a0a community, under pressure to explain, justify, or perform. Rather than positioning these approaches in opposition to each other, the workshop uses them to open a broader conversation about power, visibility, and responsibility in storytelling.<\/p>\n<p>Through guided reading, conversation, and generative writing, participants are encouraged to notice how their own language shifts depending on who they imagine is listening. The emphasis is on awareness and ultimately offers writers space to reflect on factors such as voice, authority, and trust on the page without determining a single \u201ccorrect\u201d method. Designed for writers of fiction at all experience levels, but also applicable across genres, this workshop will create a focused, supportive environment for experimentation and reflection.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/inprinthouston.org\/event\/fiction-in-person-2526-323\/&amp;sa=D&amp;source=calendar&amp;usd=2&amp;usg=AOvVaw2NL2ZyPT8_9yKITPKrIFrm\" target=\"_blank\">Registration &amp; More Info Here<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/calendar\/event?eid=NzU0c2pra2R1Z2YzbWI0MTZodW0yMjluc2YgZGQwbzJ2a3Y1aG42MDI5ajE0MTFmb3MxZmdAZw&#038;ctz=America\/Chicago\" target=\"_blank\" >See more details<\/a><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t<\/li>\n\t<li class=\"simcal-event simcal-event-has-location simcal-events-calendar-2353\" style=\"\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Event\" data-start=\"1777854600\">\n\t\t<div class=\"simcal-event-details\"><h3><strong><span class=\"simcal-event-title\" itemprop=\"name\">Live Event: ONE SPOON OF CHOCOLATE with RZA and Shameik Moore<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><span class=\"simcal-event-start simcal-event-start-date\" data-event-start=\"1777854600\" data-event-format=\"F j, Y\" itemprop=\"startDate\" content=\"2026-05-03T19:30:00-05:00\">May 3, 2026<\/span>&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class=\"simcal-event-start simcal-event-start-time\" data-event-start=\"1777854600\" data-event-format=\"g:i a\" itemprop=\"startDate\" content=\"2026-05-03T19:30:00-05:00\">7:30 pm<\/span> - <span class=\"simcal-event-end simcal-event-end-time\" data-event-end=\"1777863600\" data-event-format=\"g:i a\" itemprop=\"endDate\" content=\"2026-05-03T22:00:00-05:00\">10:00 pm<\/span><br \/>\n <span class=\"simcal-event-address simcal-event-start-location\" itemprop=\"location\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Place\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"The River Oaks Theatre, 2009 W Gray St, Houston, TX 77019, USA\" \/><meta itemprop=\"address\" content=\"The River Oaks Theatre, 2009 W Gray St, Houston, TX 77019, USA\" \/>The River Oaks Theatre, 2009 W Gray St, Houston, TX 77019, USA<\/span><\/h4>\n<div class=\"simcal-event-description\" itemprop=\"description\"><p>In-person Q&amp;A with filmmaker and Wu-Tang Clan member RZA and star Shameik Moore (SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE) following the screening<\/p>\n<p>RZA\u2019S ONE SPOON OF CHOCOLATE follows Unique (Shameik Moore, DOPE and voice of Miles Morales in the Spider-Verse films), a veteran and ex-convict seeking a fresh start in a small town.

SCOTT &amp;\u00a0EILEEN J. MORRIS<\/p>\n<p>Things aren\u2019t always black and white\u2014especially when it comes to relationships. When Dean, a young professional, and Danya, an aspiring singer, go on a refreshingly candid first date, they keep it real about the dynamics of a potential interracial relationship. As they grow comfortable nestled in the cocoon of their budding love, the real world brings a whirlwind of inflammatory race relations, opinionated family and friends, and troublesome pasts. Can love truly be colorblind? This work, inspired by the classic Guess Who\u2019s Coming to Dinner, shines a light on the story of what happens when cultures clash in the name of love in today\u2019s times.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/ensemblehouston.com\/2025-26-season\/who-all-over-there\">More Info Here<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/purchase.ensemblehouston.com\/EventAvailability?EventId=337&amp;ref=bookNow&amp;scroll=timeAndDates\">Tickets Here<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/calendar\/event?eid=NGtkMDYwbmE5ZGFjMDFjYnEyN3NjbjA3a2EgZGQwbzJ2a3Y1aG42MDI5ajE0MTFmb3MxZmdAZw&#038;ctz=America\/Chicago\" target=\"_blank\" >See more details<\/a><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t<\/li>\n\t<li class=\"simcal-event simcal-event-has-location simcal-events-calendar-2353\" style=\"\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Event\" data-start=\"1778286600\">\n\t\t<div class=\"simcal-event-details\"><h3><strong><span class=\"simcal-event-title\" itemprop=\"name\">Marcus Gilmore: Journey To The New<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><span class=\"simcal-event-start simcal-event-start-date\" data-event-start=\"1778286600\" data-event-format=\"F j, Y\" itemprop=\"startDate\" content=\"2026-05-08T19:30:00-05:00\">May 8, 2026<\/span>&nbsp;&nbsp;<span class=\"simcal-event-start simcal-event-start-time\" data-event-start=\"1778286600\" data-event-format=\"g:i a\" itemprop=\"startDate\" content=\"2026-05-08T19:30:00-05:00\">7:30 pm<\/span> - <span class=\"simcal-event-end simcal-event-end-time\" data-event-end=\"1778293800\" data-event-format=\"g:i a\" itemprop=\"endDate\" content=\"2026-05-08T21:30:00-05:00\">9:30 pm<\/span><br \/>\n <span class=\"simcal-event-address simcal-event-start-location\" itemprop=\"location\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Place\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Eldorado Ballroom, 2310 Elgin St, Houston, TX 77004, USA\" \/><meta itemprop=\"address\" content=\"Eldorado Ballroom, 2310 Elgin St, Houston, TX 77004, USA\" \/>Eldorado Ballroom, 2310 Elgin St, Houston, TX 77004, USA<\/span><\/h4>\n<div class=\"simcal-event-description\" itemprop=\"description\"><p>There is a restless, searching energy that defines <strong>Marcus Gilmore<\/strong>, a Grammy Award winning drummer, composer, and bandleader known for his fluid, forward thinking approach to rhythm.
