About This Activity
Story Lab: A Devised Theatre Company Original ensemble-made theatre, built from real research and real voices Day & Time: Tuesdays, 5:00–6:00 PM Ages: 10–14 Location: Civic Theatre of Greater Lafayette Instructor(s): Benji Braswell & Greyson Villinski Session Dates: September 15 – November 3, 2026 In Story Lab, students don't just perform a script — they build one from scratch. Using Viewpoints and ensemble-devising techniques, this company researches a social issue that matters to them and transforms it into an original piece of theatre. Along the way, students strengthen their empathy, critical thinking, and collaborative storytelling skills, culminating in a fully devised performance created entirely by the group. This class is ideal for curious, community-minded students ready to use theatre as a tool for real conversation and change. FOR MORE INFORMATION: Contact Benji@lafayettecivic.org
