Summer Workshop Program 2023
Every story we tell is the myth of our lives struggling to be heard. This workshop is designed to explore your individual myth, give voice to your emotional, political, and personal truth, and create a structure that will carry your story into the world. Whether you are working on a screenplay, a TV pilot, a stage-play, a one-person show, or a novel, knowing how stories work can lead you into a deeper understanding of the story you want to tell and the best way to present it.
