Creative Activity
Student Groups
Writers' Union
As a member of the Writers' Union, you can hone your writing skills in bi-weekly workshops or submit your pieces to The Colophon, the group's online journal. You can discover new literature - and share some of your favorite works - at themed readings complete with hot cocoa and homemade cookies, or you can join fellow reveling writers at the ever-popular Halloween Party or anti-Valentine's Day Blackhearts Ball.
Writers' Theatre
The Writers' Theatre that exists today was created in the Fall of 1997 as an offshoot of the Writers' Union by a group of ten idealistic freshmen who were interested in rolling the writing, directing and perfoming aspects of theatre into one. Their first production, "Looks Like Rain," was performed to an appreciative audience in the basement of Middle Hall. Since then, the Writers' Theatre has expanded with twenty plus members and an impressive resume of productions.
Artist's Union
The Artist's Union works to improve fellowship and visibility of the visual arts community of Washington College. We operate to host events such as rotating exhibitions of student work, workshops, and special occasions like 24 hour comics day. We seek to strengthen the visual arts community at Washington College by making it more welcoming and immersing to students of all disciplines.
