Transform your life stories into a Solo Theater Show or a Keynote Talk. Using improvisation, writing exercises and one on one coaching with director Tracey Erin Smith, uncover the stories that need to be told and transform your truth into a powerful and entertaining show or talk.

Tracey provides a safe environment where you discover your own voice, what you want to say and how only you can say it. Bring to life the characters who’ve affected you on your journey and the characters that live inside you to create a show or talk that touches people’s hearts and funny bones. You are guided every step of the way from generating ideas, trying them out, polishing them until they shine and at the end of the week when you get to share your work-in-progress with the Hollyhock community.

“I came into the class feeling skeptical that my story wouldn’t be of any interest to anyone but myself. What I found was a wonderful group of people who validated my life’s narrative and helped me to give my story value through the creation of my 10 minute piece. This workshop is guided by a woman with enough wisdom, depth and personal experience to boundlessly lead all of us down the rabbit holes of our inner souls.” – Morgan Joy
