Do you want to work in person? In a group setting with other creators? In a safe and nurturing space? To create magic and bring out your own unique voice? Under the loving and guiding hand of Anne Marie the story whisperer?
Anne Marie has created the perfect five day incubator which she brought to Second City Chicago (see picture above) and now is offering the same course in Toronto.
Your job is to shine your light as bright as you can and tell your story emphatically. Anne Marie's job is to midwife it into a script with you. By the end of the five day intensive, you will have a script outline and something to perform to your fellow classmates. You will leave with a video of you performing an excerpt of your show.
Spend five days just being creative. With daily physical and vocal warm ups, and using the foundational teachings of Pochinko clowning, you just get to play! Express yourself, invest in yourself, and set yourself up for your performing future.
Take advantage of the break in Anne Marie's performing schedule to work with the Queen of Solo Shows. Anne Marie will show you how to make magic on stage, how to make a show, how to work in live theatre and how to step fully into your light!
Limited spaces. Ideally for students who have previously worked with Anne Marie, but please inquire if you haven't but are interested. amscheffler@rogers.com

"Anne Marie Scheffler is a true find for anyone looking to honestly and wholeheartedly create a piece of artistic expression. For years I secretly dreamed of creating a one person show but never thought it would come to fruition until I heard about Anne Marie’s workshop. She was able to tease out the potential of my writing and helped me come up with a script. I feel that I too can be out in the world sharing the stories that are meaningful to me and entertaining to those who get to see them performed! Thanks Anne Marie!!!" - S.B.
"I have had the privilege of working with Anne Marie on my one person show. Anne Marie guides with knowledge, experience, joy and generosity. It's better than therapy! Anne Marie makes the journey as enjoyable as getting to the final destination. You will love her!!!" - Bethelene Hart
"When I first saw Anne Marie’s One Person Show Workshop, it was like looking at a harmless little switch on the wall. “Hmm, what’s the worst that could happen if I flipped this switch…?” Ten billion volts of creativity later, there was no worst, only best. I now have the bones of a one-woman show that will make delicious, comical sense of this writer’s life—and be fun along the way. Anne Marie has a way of seeing right through our fake and filtered pleasant selves to THE STORY!!! She did this for me, who thought there was no story. I watched her do the same for everyone else in the room and learned through the watching, too. Anne Marie, you are Magic. Truly.”- Elaine Stirling, Author
