A partnership between Dad's Garage Theatre Company, Improving Through Improv, and the American Institute for Stuttering, this evening workshop is designed specifically for people who stutter.  It will be held at Dad's Garage, located at 569 Ezzard St SE, Atlanta, GA 30312.

Participants will:  

• join a safe and inclusive space for an evening of experiential learning, laughter, and self-reflection
• explore the basics of improv, including the power of "yes, and"
• join a variety of group activities in the areas of improv, small talk, public speaking, active listening and storytelling
• discuss the benefits of spontaneity for people who stutter
• learn to live in the moment and focus on the conversation, instead of focusing on the fluency of your speech
