Thinking about writing a memoir?

Let this class move you from thinking about writing to actually getting started. Whether you are at the idea stage or have a few chapters underway, this course will help define your origin story and grow the arc of the narrative from there.

We will explore personal essays and micro-memoirs as well as ethical issues and the nature of truth in reconstructing events and characterization. By the end of the course, you will have five to ten pages of a pivotal moment from your story.

Classes meet every Monday for six weeks, beginning Feb. 16, 2026.

Mondays, Feb. 16-March 23, 2026, 6:30 – 8:00 P.M.

The ATC returns for it’s 33rd consecutive year of “wow”-ing Savannah audiences. If you’ve never attended, this is the perfect year. With a full bar inside Victory North, plus ample parking nearby, it’s so easy to get to the venue. 2026 Contestants include Broadway superstars, award-winning Jazz singers, a top 6 contestant from American Idol season 7 (you can watch him sing with Cynthia Erivo and Katy Perry on youtube), plus internationally-recognized opera singers and more. Does it sound like all these amazing people can’t possibly be competing with each other? Come enjoy the abundance of musical riches we share at American Traditions Vocal Competition, and enjoy the great variety of American music we represent through these wonderful artists.

The competition runs like sports playoffs: 24 Quarterfinalists compete in the first four rounds, and then we cut to the top 12 who will compete in the semifinals. Only five Finalists will advance to Friday night where they sing for top prizes, including a chance to sing with our wonderful Savannah Philharmonic Orchestra. Come for certain events or for the whole week – weeklong passes are available, as well as individual tickets.

Tickets start at $20 for adults, and are free for students with registration!
