Event Details

 

Ready to stop writing poems that just sit in your notebook? This 8-week series, designed for all high school writers, is the ultimate crash course in taking your words from the page to the stage.

You’ll master the fundamentals i.e. poetic devices, powerful imagery, all to find (or define) your unique voice. You'll learn key storytelling techniques and explore personal narratives that’ll translate into powerful performance pieces.

As a cohort, you’ll dive into stage and production techniques that’ll blend words with movement, all leading up to an original showcase where you'll debut your work! Sign up now to unlock new skills! This is your stage to shine!

Meet every Wednesday from 3:30pm-5:00pm, starting January 21, 2026 and ending March 11, 2026.
