One Person Show Workshop (8-Week Program) – Starts April 7

If you’ve been doing “bits” forever and want something bigger—this is the workshop.

This 8-week One Person Show Workshop helps comedians, storytellers, poets, speakers, and performers build a complete solo piece from the ground up. You’ll leave with a structured show, stronger stage presence, and a clear path to performing your material with confidence.

You’ll learn

• Story & structure (3 acts / chapters / beats)
• Writing & scripting your show (scenes, punchlines, emotional turns)
• Transitions & callbacks (how to glue everything together)
• Stage blocking & presence (movement with purpose, pacing, control)
• Rehearsal strategy (memorization tools, tightening, performance readiness)
• Showcase prep (open strong, close strong, audience engagement)

Graduation Showcase

The program ends with a Graduation Showcase where participants perform their solo work in front of a live audience. (Showcase date will be announced during the program.)

Week 2: Story mining (pull your best moments + themes)
Week 3: Structure map (acts/chapters, opening hook, closing payoff)
