Festival Workshops

Saturday, February 25th 9AM-11AM
Storytelling Workshop
In this workshop, storyteller Molly McCloy will teach participants how to write and perform nonfiction stories from their lives. Students will view storytelling videos and listen to podcasts, to learn to outline and tell their own stories using the traditional three-act structure.


Saturday, February 25th 1-2PM
Allies Workshop
Want to be a better ally in you comedy and in every day life?  Join us for an hour discussion on the topic of comedy and how to manage that interesting line.

Saturday, February 25th 3PM-5PM
Silencing the Judge Improv Workshop
We all have that inner judge, telling us that our ideas aren't good enough, or that someone else's idea is wrong. But when we silence that judge, we free ourselves to create interesting and fully developed characters; and we are able to develop deep relationships between those interesting characters when we stop judging the choices made by our stage partner. 

This workshop, with The Torch Theatre's Marisol Chavez and Sara Palmer works towards telling that judge to shut it so that you can create magic on stage together.
