Drama Therapy uses acting, improvisation, theatre games, and psychodrama as tools for personal growth and change.  It is playful, yet sparks insight.  It promotes spontaneity, creativity, and expressiveness.  This workshop introduces participants to this powerful means for changing self-defeating patterns and practicing new roles and constructive behaviors.  No previous theatre experience is necessary.  Shy people are welcome!
