Fall Storytelling Classes at The PIT

I'm excited to be teaching two new storytelling classes at The Peoples Improv Theatre with the phenomenal Michelle Walson. I've been teaching with Michelle for three years now and it's been great to see so many of our students pursue the craft, several of them winning Moth Slams in last few months. 

Both 8-week courses begin the week of September 9th. More info can be found HERE.

Guest Monologist at ASSSSCAT 3000

I am psyched to be the guest monologist at this Sunday's ASSSSCAT 3000 at Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre. (Sunday, Oct. 7th) I will be doing the 9:30 show.

Who knows who'll be on deck? I'm just as excited as you to find out. I've wanted to do improv guest monology for a long time. It's a similar but different challenge than hosting and I couldn't be more thrilled to be doing it for ASSSSCAT 3000 at UCB, the place I first learned comedy and improv years ago. Hope to see you there!

New Storytelling Class at The PIT

I'm pleased to announce a new storytelling class I'll be teaching at The PIT this September. The incredible Michelle Walson and I will be teaching a brand new Level 2 course for performers & writers with experience. Each class meets once a week over 8 weeks and performs in a class show for friends & family at The PIT.

Intermediate class description:
Intermediate Storytelling builds on the topics and skills covered in the introductory class to take students further as writer-performers.  Our goal is to help you discover your unique voice as a storyteller and transform your stories from mere anecdotes to performance pieces that tap into universal themes.  We will spend the majority of class time listening to and critiquing student stories.  We’ll also analyze sample stories from seasoned performers to see different storytelling strategies in action. The class will culminate in a class show for friends and family.

Intro to Storytelling at The PIT

My new storytelling class at The PIT begins on April 30th. I couldn't be more excited to be co-teaching with the incredible Michelle Walson, an amazing writer, director, and storyteller.

*Intro to Storytelling at The P.I.T.
with David Crabb & Michelle Walson
Mondays 7pm-10pm
April 30-June 25

In this class, you’ll learn how to transform your real-life experiences into unforgettable performance pieces. The class will operate workshop style, with the majority of class time devoted to sharing and critiquing stories. Each student will develop at least 2 stories and perform one in a class show at The PIT for family and friends.

Michelle and I have worked together since 2010, teaching storytelling to beginners, seasoned writers and performers, and corporate professionals. Michelle approaches storytelling as a writer/director, with a focus on story structure, while I approach it as a writer/performer, with a focus on character work and physicality. Together, we’ve designed a multifaceted intro program for storytellers with different goals in mind.
