I’m about to leave on a road trip back to the University of Arkansas in “Bonnie Blue,” my [1968] Pontiac Lemans, ca. 1973-4.

You is kind. You is smart. You is important.
Margot Leitman
I’m inspired by Margot Leitman.
I was immersed in intensive improv classes at the Upright Citizens Brigade, yet secretly hoping for a storytelling class, when I spotted Storytelling and Solo Work 101 in spring 2011. The class was taught by comedian Margot Leitman whose credits include Moth Grandslam Champion, regular appearances on “Late Night With Conan O’Brien,” and at the UCB a long running solo show and two storytelling shows. I enrolled immediately.
Do you want to tell true stories from your own life, but don’t know where to begin? Or are you an experienced storyteller, but your creative juices are running dry? Donald Davis’ book, Telling Your Own Stories, is full of prompts to get you going again or for the very first time.
