EPISODE SUMMARY

Do you have a personal story and think, "there's a play in there?"

Sharing personal narratives and biographical events in our plays is a very vulnerable challenge. In this episode of Theater Begins Here, we have invited guest, Tylie Shider, to discuss sharing personal narratives and biographical events in our plays and how to approach such a vulnerable--and sometimes intimidating--challenge.. As always, we will respond to questions from the live audience or those submitted via the Membership Podcast: Theater Begins Here Questions Form.

This Episode is for Those Who:

• Are inspired by history and personal narrative
• Are interested in oral storytelling
• Love Tylie's work and want to listen to him share his ideas, thoughts, and experiences.

What to Expect:

• This is in webinar format. Therefore, we will not be able to see or hear you. You will only be able to communicate with us through the Q&A section of the Zoom webinar.
• We are running our own tech, so we may take a beat to get set up :)
• All participants must agree to comply with the Membership Participation Agreements.
