Tybee Post Theater to present celebration of Savannah literary legend Rosemary Daniell
Tybee Post Theater is pleased to present “Wine, Women, and Words,” a celebration of Savannah literary legend Rosemary Daniell on August 11, 2024 at 3 p.m. where she will recount the origins of Zona Rosa, a writing workshop started for women (and some brave men) 41 years ago in Savannah.
Daniell will be introduced by Bruce Feiler, author of 15 books and seven “New York Times” bestsellers, including “Life is in the Transitions,” “The Secrets of Happy Families,” and “Council of Dads.” She will also be joined onstage by several of her “Stars in the Zona Rosa,” who will discuss the impact Daniell and her writing program had on them and read from their published works. Special appearances include:
Ujjvala Bagal-Rahn, author of Red Silk Sari;
Helen P. Bradley, author of Breach of Trust;
Vickilynn Brunskill, author of The Killing Closet;
Kathleen McGuire, author of Trials of a Dead Lawyer’s Wife: A True Story; and
Christine Poythress, author of Dharma’s Dance.
Daniell is an award-winning author of 10 books of poetry and prose and widely known as one of the best writing teachers in the country. She has led Zona Rosa workshops all over the country and in Europe, and more than 400 Zona Rosans and counting have become published authors. Also, for the past 22 summers, she has led week-long Zona Rosa writing retreats on Tybee Island, which have been attended by women from all over the U.S. and sometimes Europe.
Your $35 ticket includes access to the event, a complimentary drink, a fun goodie bag, and sweets. All ticket sales will go toward Tybee Post Theater’s fundraising efforts. To purchase tickets, visit tybeeposttheater.org or call 912-472-4790.
