Mondays, September 30 - October 14 | 10 am - 12 pm | $35Instructor: Nick Chase
As a great follow-on to Musical Stories with the Boulder Philharmonic, Telling Your Story is a 3-week class that explores the principles of playwriting. Participants mine their personal experiences to create original monologues, dialogues, and/or short plays. We build deeper connections between individuals as you hear from one another's own stories and share your own. For 14 years, Local Theater Company has been Boulder's premier new play incubator, developing 61 scripts that have gone on to productions in Boulder and across the country. Scripts range from solo performances like Stories from the Heart created and performed by John Lithgow, to musicals like Discount Ghost Stories to the upcoming production of Stockade by Andrew Rosendorf and Carlyn Aquiline, which captures an often-untold part of WWII history.
Nick Chase is Co-Artistic Director at Local Theatre Company. He began his career staging productions at celebrated New York venues including The Ohio, Galapagos, Fez, and The Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. Chase enjoyed a yearlong residency at the Tony Award/Pulitzer Prize-winning Public Theater/Joe’s Pub for his critically acclaimed theatrical series, Shells. During his tenure, Chase wrote and directed twenty-seven “episodes” of the live series. In 2014, Neil Patrick Harris tapped Chase to write Burtka, David - David Burtka’s solo show. Director Chiemi Karasawa (Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me) commissioned Chase to script Drake, her premier feature narrative film. Chase also completed two screenplays: Blue, relating to Picasso’s Blue Period; and Last Ferry Out, a feature-length horror film that he created alongside Emmy Award-winning writer/director, Doug Shultz.
