Workshop: Writing can be a solitary endeavor with little feedback or perception of what your voice “sounds like."  Learning how to craft a story for listeners can hone those skills for you.

In this 3-week, 2 1/2-hour class you will discover a framework for selecting, perfecting and performing personal stories through a combination of instruction and interactive, playful exercises. Students will uncover their private reserve of stories, learn to organize a story for telling, share feedback with the other storytellers and become more comfortable presenting to an audience.

The class meets on April 10, 17 and 24 from 1 to 3:30 p.m. with a low-key performance at 7 p.m. on the last Saturday.
