Joseph Gallo's Writing and Performing The Solo Show is a nine-week workshop designed for anyone with a story to tell (and all of us have a story to tell!). The class is open to all levels of experience, whether you have a great idea for a solo show, have already begun working on one, or simply have material that needs polishing. By utilizing a series of writing and performing exercises, the course focuses on finding your show’s style, developing solid characters, identifying your theme, and organizing its structure. Working in a fun and supportive environment, students will then move toward the creation of 10-15 minutes of their very own solo show. This exciting course will end with a performance of the created material in front of an invited audience!
