Subject: Performance with Susan Ketchin on Friday night!

Dear friends – This is something entirely new for me – my friend Susan and I are mingling words and music about Accidental Birds! Ever heard “Quiche Woman in a Barbacue Town?” You will! Y’all come! — Marjorie

 Words & Music of the Piedmont ~ Susan Ketchin & Marjorie Hudson
                                      Friday, May 25, 7 – 9pm
The Joyful Jewel in Downtown Pittsboro

         Marjorie Hudson’s stories in Accidental Birds of the Carolinas evoke life in fictional towns reminiscent of Bynum, Pittsboro, and Fearrington Village. Hudson and Singer/Songwriter Susan Ketchin, author of
The Christ-Haunted Landscape and a forthcoming memoir of music, have taken
life in the South and Hudson’s stories as inspiration and created a
reading-with-songs performance that weaves music into narrative and
narrative into music. Hudson says she surprised herself by writing a song
about Roger the three-legged dog. Susan will perform original music inspired
by images in ‘Accidental Birds’ and the natural music of the southern
landscape around us.

June 16  - Saturday Workshop-  Memoir: Writing the Times of Your Life

9:30 am – 4:30 pm

Come ready to write! We’ll put pen to paper and generate pages about pivotal
moments in your childhood, coming of age, and transitions-the richest
sources of material for memoir.  You’ll jump over blocks, get useful
feedback, and leave with home assignments and recommendations for expanding
and structuring your material, whether toward a goal of submitting, writing
a memoir, or keeping for family records.

July 14 – Saturday Workshop – Strategies for the Writing Life I

9:30 am – 4:30 pm

A new session of Hudson’s popular workshop that helps new writers get their
bearings in the writing world, helps intermediate writers refine and act on
goals–from personal accomplishment to publication–and helps all
participants find communities of support for their work.

Fall:

Class: Memoir: Works in Progress

Dates: 7 Wednesdays, August 22 – October 3

Time: 6 – 8:30 pm

Memoir is the intimate art, and this class will create a community of
support for refining works in progress and generating new material. You will
learn craft techniques to help you structure your work, tell your deepest
stories, and move toward completing a piece, whether for publication or
family records.

Workshop: Fiction Craft: Beginnings and Endings

Date: Saturday, Aug. 25, 2012

Time: 9:30 am – 4:30 pm
You’re working on a fiction story, but it’s not quite there. What absolutely
must be in the first paragraphs? What must be in your ending? And how in the
world do you decide? There are so many options, there’s so much to say in a
few words. The delicate balancing act of beginnings and endings is one of
the most powerful tools in the fiction writer’s toolbelt. We’ll explore how
master writers do it, and try some exercises to refine your own work. Bring
a draft you are working on.

Subject: “Semper Fi: Always Faithful”

Marine Corp Sgt. Jerry Ensminger was a devoted Marine for nearly 25 years. As a drill instructor he lived and breathed the “Corps” indoctrinating thousands of new recruits with its motto Semper Fidelis or “Always Faithful.”

When Jerry’s nine-year old daughter Janey died of a rare type of leukemia, his world collapsed. As a grief-stricken father, he struggled for years to make sense of what happened. His search for answers led to the shocking discovery of a Marine Corps cover-up of one of the largest water contamination incidents in U.S. history.

On Monday, May 7, ChathamArts presents his story “Semper Fi: Always Faithful”  (doc. feature-76 min., Adm. $5 at door) at Fearrington Barn. See the trailer and more info at  http://www.chathamarts.org

“Semper Fi” follows Jerry’s mission to expose the Marine Corps and force them to live up to their motto to the thousands of soldiers and their families exposed to toxic chemicals. His fight reveals a grave injustice at NC’s Camp Lejeune and a looming environmental crisis at military sites across the country. Directed by Rachel Libert, Tony Hardmon.

Jerry Ensminger will attend for a Q&A and post-screening discussion with Hope Taylor, Executive Director of Clean Water for NC and Pierre Lauffer, Associate Regional Planner, Fort Bragg Regional Alliance.**

Thank you to Working Films, which is supporting the NC Engagement Campaign of “Semper Fi: Always Faithful”.
