TrueStory Workshop
Special Performance
Taught by Elaine Gale
SPECIAL PERFORMANCE ON JUNE 4TH at 7PM
A true story can be small. It doesn't have to be about something super dramatic or tragic, but can be plucked from the everyday interactions in our lives. The ordinary can be extraordinary.
Telling a story about some aspect of your life after crafting it into shape is a powerful adventure into self-expression, risk-taking and courage. Stories help us understand more about what we all have in common and what connects us in our shared humanity.
In TrueStory, a new workshop and live storytelling collaboration, our participants join professional storyteller Elaine Gale, to learn to craft a story both for the page and for the stage.
The workshop is culminating in a live reading at the Scoundrel and Scamp stage Wednesday, June 4th. JOIN US!
Featuring the stories of Alice Hatcher, Alora Chistiakoff, Bridgett Baldwin, Ginny Kokorudz, Katie Frazee, Liz Nolan Fernstrom, Meg Duarte, Sally Erroa, Sharon Otstot, Sheila Chambers, and Timna Guerchon.
