Lawrence Howard and Lynne Duddy of Portland Story Theater facilitate in-person workshops for anyone 21+ in three different formats: 3-hour, 1-day, 6-week.
We teach intentional storytelling where you’ll learn how to tell stories improvisationally by being resourceful and using the power of spontaneity. This is intimate work. Our approach teaches you to trust the story and speak extemporaneously from the heart. We offer three different public workshops to fit your level of interest and your schedule.
