In this deep-dive storytelling class, you’ll transform your real-life experiences into relatable, compelling stories in a fun, supportive environment. Instructors will use interactive exercises to discover your life’s stories, develop a narrative structure, infuse engaging details, then polish your performance.

Participants will have weekly writing “homework” in between class sessions to prepare for their graduation show on April 29th.
