Description

Create Your Own Solo Show is a six-week creative lab for actors, writers, and storytellers ready to shape a deeply personal piece of theatre. Through guided writing prompts, improvisation, movement, and ensemble feedback, participants will uncover and sculpt a pivotal moment from their own journey into a compelling ten-minute theatrical presentation. Bring an idea of what you want to explore in your set and a sense of wonder. A notebook too.
