From the Artisphere press release:

Bad Kid is the hilariously heartwarming tale of a goth boy who dreamed of being anywhere but the middle of Texas in 1991. The setting is specific but the story is universal as David Crabb reflects on rebellion, sexuality, friendship and what it means to grow up different and alone—just like everyone else.

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.
Register HERE

More information on both classes can be found HERE

Storytelling at the P.I.T.

I will be performing Monday March 22 with a group of storytellers in NYC. Please come to the People's Improv Theatre this coming Monday at 8pm for a fun storytelling show hosted by Kevin Allison (of "The State" and "RISK: True Tales Boldly Told").
