This work was produced, directed, and edited by Dina Patterson as a labor of love for the students at Hazelwood West High School in the hopes that the original spirit of Writers Week would be kept alive during the COVID Pandemic.

Writers Week is typically a week long, whole school,  production that is currently being funded by grants and fundraising done by the ELA Department outside of contract hours ( i.e. volunteered time). If you would like to see Writers Week continue for future Hazelwood West students, please consider supporting this program through listener support or mailing in a donation.

Donations can be mailed to :
