Program Details

If the story is in you, it has got to come out.
—William Faulkner

Everything in your life, from the mundane to the extraordinary, is a story waiting to be told. In this workshop for writers and nonwriters alike, you will discover your own unique and powerful story through writing. Writing from your deepest source, you will gain insight and self-understanding that can bring peace and healing. We will then make our words leap from the page to the stage, sharing them orally to uncover the power of storytelling to transform your life and your listeners.

Through improvisation, writing exercises, and group discussion, you will find your authentic voice, along with a way to express it. Ann Randolph creates a supportive, fun, and dynamic environment to explore

  • Releasing yourself from the inner critic
  • Structuring your narrative in a compelling way
  • Transforming your ideas and stories into performance
  • Spontaneous creativity.
