Can Anyone Recommend A Great Playwriting Class In New York City?


I would like to find a place that offers classes to adults in the evening, and is affiliated with a theater or a theater group — so not a college. I took a weekend workshop at ESPA a few months ago which was good. Has anyone taken a class at the Flea Theater, or have other suggestions?

Is It Bad To See A Therapist? Read Details :)?


Hi, I am 13 and have been sad (not depressed just blue. Doctor said I am fine. I am not suicidal. I talk to my parents a lot, but I have been a little more down then the average girl. I am very philosophical and think about big stuff)
My mom and dad and doctor said I could see a therapist IF I WANT TOO. I don’t need to because I talk to my mo and dad (my mom is actually a therapist herself, but for adults). I think a little bit of talk therapy with a professional could help me sort out my feelings and my family agrees. Not now, because I am doing better but in the future if I am interested in some outside help .
Anyway, I asked a question about my sadness a little while ago and got good, helpful replies. Many said if I wanted I could try a therapist. But one person said that I should not see a therapist or go back to my doctor, because if they thought I was depressed, it would go onto my permanent record.
And it would put a damper on college.
Is that true? Would colleges not accept me?
And, if I see a therapist in a private practice (not affiliated with a hospital or any orginization) would it go on my record?
Would colleges not want a smart, Straight-A student with good extracurriculars (assuming i still have those things when I am older) who has suffered a little with some sadness?
Help! I am so worried that I won’t et into college if I reach out for help!
Thank you! 🙂

My Family Is So Far Gone…?


okay i’m a 22 year old guy and am currently living at home. i quit college 2 years ago to follow my dreams.. this is something that left my parents pretty surprised, as they are the typical “american dream” famiily and think life is about a career.
i’m at that stage where i’m still finding my niche in life. i’m finding more about myself and where i’m at now i don’t have any friends really nearby.
my 23 year old sister is currently at home as well. she graduated and is at home. anyways she is always, ALWAYS with my mother. they do nearly everything together; shopping ,watch TV, etc.
we hang out, but only when her and my mom aren’t doing anything, which isn’t too often.
she sees my loneliness but doesn’t care enough to hang out with me.
this hurts me b/c this year has been so hard and my family doesn’t really help me out in my tough time..they love me but they don’t ever talk to me much, especially my sister and father. my mom occasionally does.
should i be mad at my sister or not?

I Found A Debit Card Today, So I Brought It To The Bank And They Took My Information?


It was on the sidewalk on a college campus, so I didn’t want to just leave it for someone else to find, and I know the bank it was affiliated with has a pretty ridiculous replacement fee, so I stopped at the bank on my way home and expected to just leave it with the teller and walk out (Which is what I once saw someone do at my bank.) As I began to walk away, however, the manager stopped me and asked to see my license “so I wouldn’t have to stay there.” They copied down my information and let me go after that, but now I’M suspicious. I did some facebook snooping and there is only one person with the name that was on the card, and she does attend my school, so it’s highly unlikely that the card ever wound up in the wrong hands, but can she still claim that unauthorized purchases were made? Does the bank have to report this to the police for some stupid reason?
I doubt anything will come of this, but I just want to know if I should be concerned/how to go about covering my own butt.

An Astrophysics Degree?


I am almost 30 with a Bachelors in English/Creative Writing. I chose this field basically because I was flat out undecided for many years and just went with this. For many years I have felt as though I never found my “niche” in life, or what I “wanted to be when I grew up”. I didn’t focus very well in college as a result of having no interest and graduated with a 2.8 GPA. (I grew up believing I would simply take over my parents Real Estate office anyway so “who cares? about the GPA anyway?”. Almost 6-7 years later, real life experience and a lot of growing up my mind has finally refocused.
I have an incredibly strong interest in Astrophysics. My husband has his PhD in Pharmaceutics so this might have had a lot to do with being exposed to the sciences. There have been so times where I will sit there listening to the details of his experiment and wish I could have been in the room or watch a documentary on the universe with my mouth open for several minutes..and believe me when I tell you I have seen MANY of them. I strongly feel that this is what I missed out on. This is what I should have studied in college and followed through on. For Christmas I even asked my husband to get me a telescope. I NEED to do this.
At this point however I am pretty skeptical about if it will ever be possible for me to even get accepted into a program having been out of college for many years now with a not so great GPA to look back on. Does anyone out there (maybe in the field) have any suggestions for someone who found their niche far too late in life?
