Screen Arts & Cultures Outreach
An important part of the U-M's interdisciplinary project between the Departments of Screen Arts & Cultures, Theatre & Drama, and English Language & Literature was the Festival of New Works' outreach program, which involved a significant number of high school students with a keen interest in writing and acting. The high school students traveled into the University of Michigan from near and outlying areas of Michigan to participate in the Festival.
After six years and due to lack of funding, the Festival and its Outreach program was eliminated. Screen Arts & Cultures is very interested in continuing outreach events in the area of screenwriting. If you are an interested educator who would like your students to participate in a Screen Arts & Cultures screenwriting outreach event, please contact the Screen Arts & Culture’s Program Coordinator Mary Lou Chlipala
(734) 763-4087 or email her at mlouisa@umich.edu.
