About this Event

In this workshop we’ll share stories, break them down and dissect the process of modern storytelling. We will look at ways to generate stories, find the appropriate structure and learn what it takes to tell an entertaining story or even how to create an entire storytelling show of your own!

Bring a laptop (or pen and paper) and, if you have one, a short (<5 minutes) story from your own life that you’d like to work on. This will be an open, supportive environment with no experience necessary and no obligation to perform.

The workshop will conclude with an opportunity to perform your story in a mini-show at C.A.S.T. hosted by Jon Bennett.

Workshop begins at 12:30PM at 9050 Metcalf Ave, Overland Park, KS.

Workshop duration: 3 hours and 30 minutes (with breaks)

Workshop: $35 Pre-registration, $40 drop-in
