Storytellers of GreenMan Theatre Troupe
Annual Storytelling Class
GreenMan Theatre Troupe will once again be conducting our August Storytelling Class.
Class sessions are currently planned for August 5, 12, and 26 from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm.
Participants may choose to learn stories aimed at a variety of ages to suit their personal interests. The class will cover how to tell a variety of story types: Traditional folk tales; Literary tales; Personal stories; and Urban legends. We will focus on “spooky stories,” because after the class, we will “morph” into rehearsals that will become the performance of Spooky Stories and Songs of the Season. Students do not have to perform in the show to attend the class. (The Director reserves the right to decide if each student is ready to perform.)
Performances of Spooky Stories of the Season will be a Friday and Saturday evening in mid-October (either October 20/21 or 27/28). Most rehearsals are individual, so rehearsal times are flexible.
Class Location: First United Methodist Church, Elmhurst
Fee: $25/Members, $30/Non-Members
