Broadway lyricist Mindi Dickstein at Clear Space workshop March 22

The Clear Space Theatre Company of Rehoboth Beach announced that author Mindi Dickstein, lyricist of "Little Women: The Musical," will be guest speaker at a workshop at 6:30 p.m., Sunday March 22, at the theater. A $5 donation is requested to attend the workshop.

In her workshop for adults, Dickstein will use an actor from Clear Space’s production of "Little Women: The Musical" to demonstrate how a lyricist might expect one to “play a lyric.” She will invite guests to sing for her and will help them understand how the lyricist of the song might have expected the song to be acted or interpreted based on the lyrics written, and even why they wrote this lyric for this moment. Anyone interested in musical theater should attend this workshop.

“Mindi is our second guest appearance by an artist associated with creation of one of our productions. She wrote the lyrics for 'Little Women: The Musical,' which will be presented by Clear Space May 1 to 17," said Wesley Paulson, executive director.  “In 2014 we were fortunate to host Del Shores, the writer of 'Sordid Lives,' which we presented on stage last summer. Hosting creative talents like Ms. Dickstein and Mr. Shores allows members of the community to learn about the creative process behind the shows we present. ”

Dickstein is appearing as part of a 10-week series of adult acting workshops sponsored by Clear Space Theatre. Other workshops have featured stage combat, audition techniques and readings from a new playwright. Clear Space Theatre is at 20 Baltimore Ave. in downtown Rehoboth Beach.
