Create & Produce Your One-Person Show!

A Weekend Workshop

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

This workshop will introduce you to the tools that have helped Ruthy create, produce, and perform three of her own one-person shows. The workshop will demystify the process of starting with a concept for a show and seeing it to its fruition.

Through writing exercises and a safe, supportive environment, you will learn how to overcome your fear of not being a writer, how to find your story, create characters, and tell the truth in a fun and unique way. We'll also cover important aspects of producing your show such as budget, booking a theatre, publicity, working with a director, and more.

Creating and performing a one-person show can be scary, but fear doesn't have to stop you from telling your story and having a good time doing it.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:

"I feel pumped up, and emboldened!" 
-- T. Wallace

"Well organized; professional; productive and inspired!"
 --  K. delaPena

"I got a ton out of the workshop and feel like I can really do a show now, where as before I had no idea how to start, didn't think I could write or even had a story to tell. To get over all of that is a huge achievement and wouldn't have happened without everything you gave us last weekend. I'm super grateful!"
-- Denise T.

"Ruth has an amazing ability to glean the essence from a piece and to instill her love of the form. I came in with nothing but curiosity, and after two days of workshop, I had the beginnings of a show, guided by her adept and encouraging feedback." 
-- Cynthia S.

"Ruth opened my eyes and heart to my own story.  I had many ideas of what story I wanted to tell and it was through her workshop that I got to play in a safe space.  The workshop taught me how to keep writing and to have fun writing and how to flesh out those ideas that keep popping up.  I am forever grateful.  It has been a full year since I took Ruth's workshop and I am up and running a show of my own!  I am so thankful I followed my gut to take your workshop.  Thank you Ruth.  I am forever grateful!  Thank you once again for a fabulous workshop.  You really created a safe, fun space to allow me to blossom.  I got exactly what I needed."
-- Esther F.
