Held at 3664 Chase Court, Boulder.
Minimum 6 students, maximum 10.
Hone a story so you can present it for all that it's worth. This workshop provides a nurturing setting to explore the spoken word and all it can convey. Learn ten principles that you can apply to any story you wish to learn. Practice imagining with all your senses: sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste; physical movement and pantomime; drawing on genuine emotions; and using all the tools in your vocal toolkit.
Students are expected to prepare a short story to work on in class (5-7 minutes). It can be a fairy tale, a personal experience, a family story or something you have read or heard. You should have chosen your story and be prepared to tell us the plot at the first class.
Tuition: $100. To register, send $20 deposit, payable to Susan Marie Frontczak to 3664 Chase Court, Boulder CO 80305. Deposits are refunded if enrollment is less than the minimum, or if received after the class has filled. Deposits are not refunded once minimum enrollment has been met counting your enrollment. Full payment due at beginning of first class. No refunds after the first class.

Eleanor Roosevelt During World War II
"What We Are Fighting For"
Thursday February 16, 2012
7:00 pm
Glenwood Springs Library
413 Ninth Street
Glenwood Springs CO.
Free and Open to the Public.
War is a controversial topic any day of the week. The stakes are higher, perhaps, if you have been working for world peace through a world court for over twenty years -- ever since the end of the first World War, the "war to end all wars" -- and your husband is the president of the United States while your country is embroiled in the largest war the planet has ever known. How does one stay true to one's ideals in the midst of war's mayhem? How can we build the world we want while surrounded by tumult?
It is December 1942. Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt has just returned from England where she visited with soldiers, generals, royalty, and the working people. Find out how the First Lady feels about the individual’s role in a world torn by war, hardship, and uncertainty.
Program includes a monologue in-character, followed first by a question and answer period with "Mrs. Roosevelt" and then by a question and answer period with the scholar/presenter. For more information call (970) 945-4448.
Eleanor Roosevelt During the Great Depression
"This Is My Story"
Sunday February 19, 2012
2:00 pm
Tarpon Springs Performing Arts Center
$18 Admission. ($15 Members and Students)
For tickets, see www.tarponarts.org.
Meet first lady Eleanor Roosevelt in 1937, during her husband’s second term as president. In the 1920’s, Eleanor had worked to advance minimum wage, maximum hours, laws against child labor, women’s rights, women’s representation in government, world peace, and civil rights. She continued to advance her causes while her husband was in office. No other First Lady had ever taken on such a public role. Furthermore, Eleanor often served as her husband's eyes and ears across the United States by inspecting factories, inner city tenements, and military camps - because as a paraplegic, FDR was confined to a wheelchair.
Behind this public life is the story of a little girl who lost both parents before the age of ten, a debutante who felt trapped by society’s expectations, and a young wife who bore six and raised five children (one girl and four boys) before emerging as one of the 20th century’s most remarkable women.
The presentation will be followed by a Question and Answer period with Mrs. Roosevelt. This, in turn, will be followed by a Question and Answer period with the scholar/presenter Susan Marie Frontczak. Hear Eleanor Roosevelt’s views on what makes life worth living and how we can each make a difference in the midst of a strife-filled world — views at least as relevant today as they were 70 years ago.
The development of this program was funded in part by Boulder County Arts Alliance through the Neodata Endowment Grant Program.

Enter the mind and imagination of English writer Mary Shelley. Teen-age mother, behind-the-scenes supporter of social reform, romantic, and scholar, English writer Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (1797-1851) may be best known as the author of Frankenstein, but there is much more to be learned about her, both personally and psychologically.
Discover how this author blended themes and events from her own life with a vivid imagination to construct one of the worlds most enduring novels.
Mary Shelley's work raises ethical questions that are, if anything, more pertinent today than they were in her lifetime: The Ethics of Science and Technology, and our Social Responsibility to the abandoned members of society. Discover how this author blended themes and events from her own life with a vivid imagination to construct one of the worlds most enduring novels.
One-hour program consists of a monologue in-character, followed first by a question and answer period with "Mary Shelley" and then by a question and answer period with the scholar/presenter. Free and open to the public.
