"Once upon a time..."

All of life is telling stories, from the stories our mothers told us as we went to sleep to the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of life to the stories of the Bible that have guided entire civilizations.

We have stories that are written down, told out loud, acted out, recited as poetry and seen on film.  We have wordless stories told by artists in paintings and sculptures and mime.

Would you like the world to listen to you? Then learn to tell a story that will hold its attention and make your point. Together, let's learn from the masters, storytellers whose stories we remember centuries later, who move us to joy, sorrow or action long after their deaths.

Then, we, too, will become storytellers.

There is joy in creating something beautiful,

immortality in creating something great.
