The class culminates in a presentation to an invited audience.

Whether you want to up your public speaking game for work; have aspirations of telling a tale on “The Moth” or at your favorite open mic night; or just want to perfect one great story to bust out at the next house party you’re forced to attend against your will -- this six-week course is for you! Storyteller and theater maker, Steven J. Burge, has been a regular on “The Narrators,” a Moth-style live storytelling podcast that features people telling true stories. He’ll help you take your storytelling game to the next level in a low-pressure / high-fun / and community-focused environment. You’ll craft, rehearse, and ultimately deliver your own five-minute story on the final class.

So let’s get together, swap some tall tales or silly anecdotes, and revisit a day when connections were made and stories were told around campfires and living rooms, instead of on social media threads and internet message boards. Bring a friend or make a new friend (or 7) in class!

Calling all future stars! In this one-week musical theater camp, young performers will learn music from popular musicals coupled with energetic choreography.
