Storytelling Workshop & Showcase *In-Person*

What's your story? Get introduced to the art of story structure and receive expert tips on incorporating humor, building drama, and connecting with your audience. Each participant will have several opportunities to present true stories, lasting five to ten minutes, much like those from "The Moth." Participants are also welcome to workshop short fiction pieces, memoirs, plays, and screenplays, and in-depth comments and discussions follow all performances. Everyone is welcome, from beginners to practiced storytellers. The final class provides students with the opportunity to showcase their stories to an invited audience of friends and family.
