Have you ever been stranded on a remote island for years at a time? Gotten into a fistfight with a cop? Peed in your pants in front of the high school rowing team? Do you have a funny or heartbreaking story to tell?!? *

In this class, I’ll take you through the necessary steps to mine your life for good stories and amaze an audience with your performance. In this 3-hour workshop, you’ll discover your inner storyteller through improvisational exercises designed to help you find your voice, writing exercises to learn the mechanics behind storytelling, and performance tips to help you kill in front of a crowd. By the end of the course, you’ll have at least one five-minute story (if not more!) to share next time you want to impress a boss/date/officer of the law. Face it: it's way better than being stranded on a remote island.**

*One of these things happened to me.

**This may not be true.
