Discover the transformative possibilities of documentary theater and step into America’s complex history with American Scoreboard: How Did We Get Here?, a dynamic two-day workshop, culminating in a staged reading on a third day, led by Christopher Burney and Fran Kirmser. Through the exploration of historic transcripts and documents, participants will uncover the legacy of the nation—bringing pivotal moments, influential voices, and untold stories to life on stage. Participants will engage in hands-on exercises to craft compelling narratives, shape authentic character voices, and construct dramatic scenes rooted in history. This workshop culminates in a collaborative staged reading, showcasing the power of documentary theater to illuminate the past and provoke meaningful dialogue about the present. www.AmericanScoreboard.com
