*ANCRAM CENTER FOR THE ARTS WILL HOST FREE STORYTELLING WORKSHOP **SATURDAY
APRIL 20*



Ancram Center for the Arts will host a free storytelling workshop designed
to help participants craft and tell a compelling personal story on Saturday
April 20 from 11:00 am – 1:00pm. The workshop is limited to 15. To
register, email info at ancramcenter.org.

The class will be led by Ancram Center’s Paul Ricciardi, an award-winning
educator who curates and directs the Center’s REAL PEOPLE REAL STORIES
series.

“Everyone has a story to tell,” said Ricciardi. “In this workshop students
will practice exercises to help them hone their narratives and connect with
an audience, the kind of connection that can only happen through the
intimacy of storytelling.”

In recent years, the Storytelling Workshop has become a feeder for Ancram
Center’s REAL PEOPLE REAL STORIES series, which has been a highlight of
every season since 2017.

Ricciardi is the recipient of the Kennedy Center Teaching Artist Award and
Kennedy Center Gold Medallion and a Professor on the theater faculty at the
City University of New York/Kingsborough Community College.

Ancram Center for the Arts is an award-winning theater located in New
York's Hudson Valley. Housed in an historic Grange Hall, Ancram Center has
since 2016 presented groundbreaking theater and musical performances by
nationally recognized theater artists. The Center receives significant
annual support from the New York State Council on the Arts and in 2023 was
awarded a generous grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. For more
