Testimonials:

Today I took a phenomenal workshop with Story Jam. They were highly professional while facilitating a fun, structured, and even cathartic afternoon. It was a great chance to deepen my understanding of story telling and practice in a low-pressure, supportive environment. I would definitely recommend the workshop for anyone looking to enhance their public speaking skills or to just have a fun and insightful afternoon.

Stephanie Rogers, the “quadruple threat” actor, writer, musician and producer behind Story Jam, ran an “Acting for Writers” seminar this past weekend that was, at risk of hyperbole, outstanding. She was thoughtful and smart, engendering an informal and inclusive vibe that simply “worked.” The “safe space” sensibility she established helped bring out the best in writers looking to improve their acting chops, and allowed for the open exchange of accolade and criticism necessary to drive progress. She scheduled four hours, but we stayed for five, and Stephanie’s energy and commitment to making progress never wavered. I recommend her most highly and without reservation.

Stephanie is amazing - a natural teacher and coach. She taught us about art of story telling, brainstormed ideas for stories, helped with editing, delivery, timing and getting more comfortable performing. The environment is extremely supportive! I highly recommend taking a class or a workshop with Stephanie!
