Bryant Park

Every summer we do free classes in the Reading Room at Bryant Park, at the magic hour when the sun melts and the lights emerge.

So many of the greats play the parks on NYC summer nights—the NY Philharmonic, the NY Shakespeare Festival, and, of course, Gotham Writers Workshop. Join us for a free 90-minute class on one of our wonderful nights in the Reading Room at Bryant Park.
