Story Theater Company is excited to offer five different virtual theater workshops for Winter/Spring 2020!
- Each workshop will be conducted via Zoom.
- Some workshops come with a kit of supplies, which STC will assemble for you.
Before the start of the workshop, STC will contact you by email regarding the best way to get your kit to you. We may be able to drop off to Ames addresses; for addresses outside of Ames, a time will be arranged for you to pick up the kit from us. - Payment (through PayPal) must be completed at the time of registration in order to reserve your space.
- Partial need-based scholarships for virtual workshops are available. For details and to apply, contact Julia: manager@storytheatercompany.org
This program is funded in part by local option tax funds provided by the City of Ames through the Commission on the Arts (COTA) and by the Iowa Arts Council, a division of the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs.
