Class Description
Do you have a great story to tell? Join Gina James, producer of the Moth's Boston Story Slam, and Moth host Steve Almond for a class that will help you develop a story and learn how to tell it in front of a live audience. In week one, Gina will help you choose and structure a story from your own life. In week two, you'll tell your story in class, and Steve will critique your performance and help you refine it so it's ready for prime time at a Moth Story Slam.
Note: Registration for this class includes both Thursday, November 29th and Thursday, December 6th, from 6:00-9:00pm.
