The Hollywood Theater is proud to announce a new 4 week summer program -

A LYRICS WORKSHOP will run for 4 weekly sessions.Each session will run for 1 hr. and 45 minutes. Sessions will involve teaching aspiring lyricists and songwriters how to enhance their skills and creativity to craft impactful lyrics. The goal of the workshop is to help each participant find their own voice and to express it in their lyrics.

At the end of each session, participants will be given homework assignments to guide them throughout the week. The group will share their ideas and lyrics throughout each session and produce one or more songs before the end of the workshop,.

The  workshop facilitator is Alison Pipitone. Pipitone is a member of the prestigious Buffalo Music Hall of Fame and over the past two decades has won countless awards. The North Country Times said: "Alison Pipitone is the high priestess of the local rock scene." WNY NewsBlast stated: "She's a top flight songwriter with a wicked vocal left hook and serious attitude."

Workshops will take place July 12, 19, 26 and August 2, beginning at 1 p.m. The cost is $40.00. Participants must be 15 years and over. There is space for 8 participants. Send your name and contact info to: thealisonpipton@gmail.com.
