Do you have a story you've been dying to tell? Do you dream of having your story featured on RISK!, The Moth or Stories From The Stages? Bring your personal narrative to this workshop!

Comedian and storyteller Gastor Almonte will help you and your fellow students shape that story into a tight, stage-worthy little number. Class is limited to (10) students. Please show up with a personal 5-7 minute story and the willingness to read it on the Zoom.
