Join us for a 4-week course to learn the secrets of great storytelling and tap into your life experience for meaningful moments.
About this Event

Find your story. Shape your voice. Build your skills.

We all have stories to tell—sometimes we just need help finding them. In this class you’ll learn how to shape a personal story that holds attention and builds momentum, find what's at the heart of your story, and bring it to life!

Each class builds on the last, giving you the tools, practice, and feedback to shape a story that’s both personal and powerful. You’ll explore your voice, build new skills, and walk away with a story you’re proud to keep working on.

How it Works

You’ll meet once a week for two hours, in a small, supportive group. Each session combines real-time coaching, guided exercises, and space to share work-in-progress. By the end of the course, you’ll walk away with:

  • A draft of a personal story
  • Core storytelling tools you can apply anywhere
  • A clearer understanding of how your experiences connect and land
  • Trust, feedback, and energy from a like-minded creative community

What to Expect

  • No performance required.
  • Live coaching and feedback—not just videos.
  • Small, supportive cohorts for trust and real connection.
  • Less expensive than most one-day workshops—with way more value.
  • The best way to prepare for our Performance Lab or any stage.


Refund & Credit Policy for Story District Classes

We will process a refund up to 30 days before class begins. No refunds will be processed thereafter. An exception will be made if we are able to fill your spot last-minute.

We know things come up, and we do our best to accommodate. Thanks for understanding the impact late cancellations can have on small class sizes.
