Recent Press about the Program
As seen on CTV News
This is not about managing a stutter, rather
it is about teaching you how to express yourself without the need for perfection. Learning to
celebrate mistakes and laugh at yourself takes the fear out of stuttering. When that fear is removed,
you can truly play, tell your stories and inspire others.
We're pleased to announce the Robert O'Brien Scholarship. Anyone facing financial challenges can apply for support to participate. To apply for the scholarship, please send an email with a few sentences on why you'd like to take the course to: dan@tightropetheatre.com
