Outer Limits – Listening as Dramaturgy with Joe Lichtenstein
Every room already contains a play. The stories are there — in the people around you, in the gaps between what’s said and what’s meant. This session is about learning to hear them. Led by director Joe Lichtenstein, this workshop takes a simple premise: we listen to each other’s stories, find the thread connecting them, and make something together. No prior performance experience required. Writers find character. Directors find structure. Actors find truth. Come ready to speak, to listen, and to be surprised by what the room makes possible. All sessions are Pay What You Can and will take place on location here at QTH.
