Steve will teach you how to…

• Lift your words off the page to share them – and yourself – with the audience

• Ground yourself physically and vocally
• Create a memorable author event or poetry performance that will garner rave reviews and win you return bookings

Steve will…

• Assess your play’s strengths, weaknesses, and readiness for production
