We have been deep in collaboratively writing a play together. Together we've explored our story ideas through writing, creating tableaus, writing, reflecting on our story after reading, and more writing. We've written a ton! And the good news, our script is finished, and will soon be published! Writing with eighteen authors is challenging; it is difficult to have your idea be heard, to agree on a plot, and to discover the heart of our story. Nonetheless, we have 18 sassy Greek characters that are beginning to live within our community. In fact, kids are thoroughly enjoying speaking as these characters, and trying on some of their more lively lines in daily conversation. Now to the stage!

| Deciding which Greek characters represent light, dark and both. Acting it out allowed us to write from our characters' perspective better. |

| Writing, editing, revising, and reading lines together. |
 |
| After reading a rough draft of our script, we reflected on the symbolic meaning of our quilt, the heart of our story, and what we hope the audience learns from our production. |
