Funny, but True! A workshop series for youth with author and teacher, Thomm Quackenbush
Join us for a youth workshop series to shows you how to craft true and entertaining stories from your life! The goal is to be able to tell your stories without any notes by tapping into your writing and acting skills. You will also learn how to record, add sound effects, and edit your story using Audacity software to record your own podcast.
Perfect for 8th-11th graders. Sessions happen once a month on the second Saturday for three months: June 10; July 8; and August 12, 2017 at 11:00am-1:00pm. Sign up is required, must commit to all three sessions, and there is no fee.
The workshop will conclude with a Story Slam happening in front of a live audience at the Enchanted Café in Red Hook, NY at 7484 S Broadway on Friday, September 22, 2017 @ 6:00pm-7:00pm.
This workshop series and event is made possible by: Stewart’s Holiday Match Grant.
