Do you have a story to tell? Are you interested in communicating directly with an audience? This workshop is meant to take you from prompt to a five minute story on stage. Across these 2 sessions you will bring a short story to class and then be given the tools you need to refine your tale and connect with your listeners. This will all culminate in a storytelling showcase where you get a chance to share what you have created.
This class will consist of 2 sessions form 6-8PM with a Showcase Friday the 4th.
