Over the years, Lancaster Story Slam audience members and storytellers have asked us if we’d consider presenting a storytelling workshop, one that would help them get a story ready for the Story Slam stage. Well, we’re doing it—Lancaster Story Slam is offering its storytelling workshop: Stories - Where to Find Them, How to Tell Them.
Conducted by JJ Sheffer and Tony Crocamo, producers of LSS, the workshop offers a proven and easy process for finding and preparing your stories as well as tips on how to deliver your stories for the greatest impact.
Registration is limited to 20 participants per class. The $20 ticket covers the cost of the room rental and supplies, with the remainder going to York and Lancaster Story Slams.
Register HERE for the June 4 Workshop. Registration for June 4th closes May 22. A minimum of ten participants is required. The workshop will be cancelled and the tuition will be refunded if fewer than ten register.
If these two workshops sell out, we will offer a third in late summer or early fall.
