Big Blue Door will begin its latest Telling True Stories online course at 3:30 p.m. Sunday in McGuffey Art Center’s Studio 20. The six-week course will help students learn the tools the need to start sharing their own stories with others.
Joel Jones will help students learn how to speak in front of others, find their voices and start building a repertoire of interesting material. During the last two sessions, students will choose a story to tell, polish it, memorize it and get it ready to present at the class showcase. No experience is necessary, but vaccination is required.
The class is $225. Register at bigblue door.org. To learn more, contact Jones at classes@bigbluedoor.org.

It’s not too soon to plan for CatVideoFest, which will return to Violet Crown Charlottesville on July 24.
