Tellin-Tales Theatre announces the next session of the Young Adult Writers Workshop - register by June 1!

Young adults, with and without disabilities, are coached in developing a personal story around a common theme. This year's theme is “Connecting the Dots”. Each writer will examine experiences and events from their lives to find the “big picture.” Students learn writing techniques and how to develop their unique voice.

The six week workshop includes story development via ZOOM. This allows everyone to attend, no matter where they live. The program culminates in a live performance on July 24 and a taped video performance available on Vimeo, July 23 thru July 31, 2022.
