Join us on Saturday, August 23, 2025 at 10:00 AM for a 2-hour writing workshop, "Bringing Historical Lives to the Stage" with Laura Rocklyn.
In this hands-on workshop, participants will explore ways to bring historical figures who fascinate them off of the page and onto the stage. Starting with primary sources, such as letters, diary papers, and newspaper articles, each participant will work through the creation of a one-person play with a dramatic arch that illuminates the personal stories behind large historical events.
Laura Rocklyn is a writer, actress, and first person historical interpreter. The stage adaptation of Jane Eyre that Laura co-wrote with Sally Boyett was produced by the Classic Theatre of Maryland in the spring of 2024; Laura’s adaptation of A Christmas Carol has been performed at Chesapeake Shakespeare Company in 2022 and 2023; and the bio-drama about Clover Adams that Laura co-wrote with Ty Hallmark was produced by Ally Theatre Company in 2017. Laura has published articles in “Brontë Studies” and “The Revere Express,” and she was the winner of the LitMag 2021 Virginia Woolf Award for Short Fiction. Laura is a Member of the Chesapeake Shakespeare Company and an Acting Troupe Member with History At Play.

Join us on Saturday, August 23, 2025 at 2:00 PM for "Charlotte Brontë: Ascend the Gale," a one-woman play written and performed by Laura Rocklyn.
The year is 1853 and Charlotte has recently published Villette, her third, and most personal, novel. The remarkable writer reflects on her extraordinary family, unconventional education, and the life-changing experience in Brussels that inspired her most recent novel. Learn about the difficulties and unexpected opportunities that literary fame has brought about in Charlotte's life as she shares the hardships faced by single women who attempt to make a living and, possibly, a name for themselves as authors. See how she and her remarkable sisters strove to rise above these barriers.
Run time: Approx. 40 minutes for the scripted performance, followed by 15-20 minutes for Q&A
