Big one coming up at Writers’ House.

Join us Tuesday, September 22 at 6 PM for Misfits & Trailblazers, a virtual fireside chat with Brian Jay Jones, bestselling biographer of Jim Henson, George Lucas, Dr. Seuss, and more. Hosted by our very own Ross Angelella.

They’ll talk Jim Henson, creativity, storytelling, the weirdos who refuse to fit neatly into the expected mold—and what Henson’s work can still teach us about making something unmistakably our own.

Presented by Jiménez-Porter Writers’ House in collaboration with Startup UMD.

Free + virtual. Registration required. Link in bio. Come hang with us.
