Have you always wanted to tell a story at The Moth or First Person Arts but you are not sure how to begin? In this class you will get a chance to write and rehearse one or more 5 minute stories. You will learn what makes a compelling story and how to bring it to life. You will get a chance to work on your performance as well as your writing. You will get feedback in the form of “praise and polish”--what works and what can be further crafted. The final class will be a performance to invite your friends and family to at a local venue. Includes optional field trip to a story slam at the World Café.

Notes:

There is a $5 materials fee payable to the instructor.

Unitarian Society of Germantown, 6511 Lincoln Drive

Use 361 W. Johnson St in your GPS. The church is on Lincoln Dr., between Wayne and Hortter, but MALT students need to use the parking lot off Johnson Street between Wayne and Greene Streets and enter the church from the rear of the building. The driveway to the parking lot is on Johnson, right next to the railway bridge, closest to Wayne Ave. It's a long driveway. Park in the last lot and walk up the sidewalk to the 2nd stairway. Walk down the stairs to enter the church. There is a schedule of events posted on this door. That schedule tells you which room you're in. Once inside the church, there is a map on the bulletin board to show where your room is. If the door is locked, please wait until your instructor shows up.

The Route H bus stops less than a block away at Lincoln Drive & Wayne Avenue.
