PUBLIC SPEAKING,
TAUGHT BY BROADWAY ACTORS
You pitch, you lead, you present. Spend one weekend with Broadway actors getting ready for the next room that matters.

EVERY GREAT TALK WAS REHEARSED
WHAT'S YOUR NEXT ROOM?
The pitch, the questions, and staying calm when they push back.
All-hands, hard news and the one-on-one after.
The demo, the sales call, the room that has to say yes.
Panels, stages and Q&A. Pace, pauses and what to do with your hands.
HOW THE WEEKEND WORKS
Two 4-hour days. You build one 2-minute talk for a real moment you have coming up, then perform it on a real stage.
SATURDAY: PRESENCE AND STORY
Own the first 10 seconds. Then write your talk in four beats: the moment, the shift, the meaning, the ask.
SUNDAY: PRESSURE
Your coach has watched your overnight run-through. Then come interruptions, a time cut and the one question you’d hate to be asked.
OPENING NIGHT
You perform your talk in a theater for invited guests, who play the people in your next room. Filmed, so you keep it.
12people in the room, and everyone performs in every block.
TAUGHT BY PEOPLE WHO DO THIS EIGHT SHOWS A WEEK.
A theatre-trained lead coach runs both days, with two guest headliners: a founder known for telling a great story, and a live performer.
A SAFE ROOM WITH A HIGH BAR
Everyone performs. Anyone can pass once a day. Every mistake gets a bow, and the room cheers.
WHAT YOU LEAVE WITH
YOUR TALK
Performed live, plus a 30-second and a 10-second version for everything else.
THE VIDEO
Opening Night is filmed, so you can watch yourself back.
YOUR NOTES
Written notes from your coach within a week, and the one-page Stagecraft cheat sheet.
A CHECK-IN
After your real moment, and an alumni session on day 30.

QUESTIONS
Do I need to be good at this already?
No. Come as you are. The room is built for people who aren't there yet.
Who is it for?
Anyone who speaks at work: founders, managers, sales, marketing, product and engineering leads. If you pitch, lead or present as part of your job, it’s for you.
Is this an acting class?
No. Nobody asks you to play a character. You work on your own talk, in your own words.
What should I bring?
A real moment you have coming up: a pitch, an all-hands, a sales meeting or a keynote. Your talk is built for it.
How do I get in?
A short application: your role, the moment you have coming up, and what you most want to get better at.
Can my company pay?
If your company has a learning budget, it can cover your seat.
