  • An understanding of story structure and the qualities of a good story
  • An idea of different ways to go about developing your story
  • Multiple ideas from your peers and the instructors about how to strengthen your story
  • Experience using character in your stories
  • One story that you have practiced three times and begun to shape
  • A better ear for story
  • New friends and creative network

Note: SpeakeasyDC does not give refunds (full or partial) for voluntary withdrawal from the class. There are limited slots in the class so that we may give sufficient attention to each student. Because of this, we typically have to turn people away. Should you choose to withdraw, we will have a vacancy that we can no longer fill.

GETTING THERE:

Street parking is available, but we are not permitted to park in the lot. You can also take any S bus up or down 16th Street or walk about 6 blocks/10 min from Columbia Hts. Metro (Green/Yellow). Walk north on 14th St 3 blocks, turn left on Newton and walk one long block. Just before you get to 16th St, turn right into the parking lot. Enter through the red doors that opens onto the parking lot and faces 16th St. This facility is wheelchair accessible. Please let us know in advance if that is something you need so we can make proper arrangements.

I would love to be a part of your workshop but am in embarassingly poor financial straits right now. Declared bankruptcy earlier this year, underwent knee surgery last month. Trying to get back to work, not only to pay bills but to go to things like the Speakeasy workshop and other events. I am 73 years old and have had to reinvent myself at least a dozen times. Along the way, I have met many memorable people and visited some fascinating places. Always thought I would commit some of these experiences to the yellow legal pad or its technlogical equivalent. Outside of a few aborted efforts, that hasn’t happened. But I don’t seem to have any problems talking about my life, so maybe the breakthrough will come, if I can tell someone my stories.
Speakeasy, The Moth, stand -up comedy are possible venues…someday.
Thanks for the invite.

Good Morning,

I will be in attendance. Is it okay to pay cash for the 18th? Thank you.

Daniel

Amy.
Do we need to prepare or bring any materials to the class?
Thanks
Bai

Just pen, paper, and an open mind. Food and drink if you want.
