Workshop your Ghost Story-Telling Skills on Saturday

Have you always wanted to scare the pants off an audience? Here's your opportunity to practice your skills.

Summer Place Theatre is offering a free two-hour workshp that covers proper story preparation, speaking, breathing, gesturing and microphone techniques. No previous experience is required, but you are encouraged to bring a prepared Halloween story or monologue no more than two minutes in length that can be used to practice with during the workshop.

The workshop is open to the first 15 registrants, ages 16 and up on Saturday, August 24 from 2:00-4:00 p.m. in Room 206 at the Alfred Rubin Riverwalk Community Center located at 305 W. Jackson Avenue in downtown Naperville. To register or for more information, email Don Gingold at ghoststories@summerplacetheatre.org.

Those who complete the workshop may be considered for a role as a storyteller in the Naperville Park District’s annual Ghost Stories in the Park…In the Dark event, which takes place October 4-6 at the Riverwalk Grand Pavilion.
