Imagine being the very first actor to ever play a role—a character no one has ever seen before.
Join the ensemble at 16th Street Children’s Theater and help originate a role in a brand-new play created by you and your fellow ensemble members. Guided by professional theater artists, you’ll collaborate to develop characters, shape the story, and bring a never-before-told world to life. Through creative exploration, movement, voice work, and imagination, you’ll build confidence, teamwork, and performance skills.
The experience culminates in an exciting live performance on stage, where you’ll share your original work with family and friends—a truly unforgettable theater adventure!

1st Mondays, “Let Me Tell You!” A Curated Story Telling Jam
hosted by 2-time Moth winner Errol McLendon
Everyone tells stories. At family gatherings. In bars and coffee shops. Here is your opportunity to share your personal stories with your community. Stories can be funny or poignant. About love or tragedy, or maybe both. They can be about something you learned or something you wish you had never done. Something historic you witnessed or were a part of.
Submit a description of a 7 - 8 minute story you would like to tell to errol.mclendon@gmail.com to be included in an evening of friends sharing stories with friends. First time tellers are welcomed and encouraged.
A free Zoom workshop will be offered two weeks prior to each show to help enhance your story in a relaxed, informal environment. One-on-one coaching will also be available.
Ages: 18+ yrs. Day: Monday Date: 6/1, 7/6, 8/3, 9/14, 10/5, 11/2, 12/7 Time: 7:00-9:00 pm Fee: Free Location: Joseph C. Vallez Activity Center * Snacks, soda, beer, and wine will be available for purchase throughout the show.
