Each workshop is adapted to the specific and sometimes special needs of the group.
The workshop runs for a total of eight sessions. There are seven sessions of instruction - with the last
session being devoted to your storytelling show.
We generally meet once per week, before our show, however, some groups will choose
to meet twice a week - and when possible, I
like to accommadate them.

Participants should have access to a tape recorder and will be asked to furnish any props and personal wardrobe needed.
