Storytelling Residency

Engaging students in the collaborative process of devised theatre.

About

Everyone has a story to tell.

The Storytelling Residency is a year-long program that engages high school students in the collaborative process of devised theatre. We focus on personal narratives that celebrate the diversity of Los Angeles, engage students in various forms of storytelling, and help them gain confidence as writers, designers, and performers.
