“When I first started telling my stories in the group, I didn’t realize they were funny and so when everybody was laughing, I was like, ‘Okay… I can do this.’”
“Stand Up! Girls is a transformative experience for teenage girls. I watched firsthand as the teaching artist came in and nurtured often shy and nervous girls into free-wheeling and confident comedians who owned the stage all within 12 weeks. This program is empowering and life changing.”
