The Greatest Story You’ll Ever Tell

The Greatest Story You’ll Ever Tell Mondays, 6:00 – 8:00 pm. February 15 – March 8. Workshop is intended for individuals seriously interested in the creation of dramatic texts for performance. Participants should come prepared to create, discuss, support each other and be open to new ideas in an enjoyable yet challenging virtual learning environment. All of us have at least one potentially great story waiting to be shared in a theatrical setting. It may be an event from our own life or from the life of someone we know, an event in history, or a creation from our own imagination or a dream we’ve had. What matters most is that it’s a story that must be told and you believe you know how to tell it in a way that it affects the lives of the people who experience it in a live performance. The purpose of this workshop is to share the structures and strategies of creating a dramatic text that connects successfully the story to the audience. Some experience in writing and an understanding of how theatre works are helpful, but not required. Minimum 5 students to run. Instructor: Paul Edwards. $115/student. In Partnership with the Vita Institute for the Arts.
