Character Monologue Workshop

Ever wondered what it would be like to create a character—and step into their shoes for a few minutes?

In this workshop, you’ll create a fictional or nonfictional character and develop a short monologue in their voice.

Through guided writing and storytelling exercises, you’ll discover what your character wants, what they have to say, and how to shape those ideas into a short monologue.

Then we’ll take it off the page. Using a few simple acting tools, you’ll explore your character’s voice, point of view, and presence—and see what happens when you try the words out loud.

This isn’t about being an actor or giving a perfect performance. It’s about using your imagination, trying something new, and experiencing what it feels like to bring a character to life.

At the end, you’ll have the opportunity to share or perform your monologue with the group. Sharing is always optional.

No writing or acting experience needed. Just curiosity and a willingness to give it a try.

Cost: $100 residents | $120 non-residents
