Create your own mystery podcast!
And then perform and record it live at the Phipps!
"Who Knows What?" A new mystery podcast
Join other homeschooled high school students to create an original audio podcast series of mystery stories! We will work as a team to create, write, and record a stand-alone mystery story with interesting characters and dramatic plot lines that will then be recorded and performed live at the Phipps Center for the Arts. Students will also be able to voice the characters they create, as well as develop original sound effects. This is a great chance for students to explore and grow in their writing, acting, and storytelling abilities, while also boosting their creativity, confidence, and teamwork skills! We meet on Wednesdays from 12:30 to 2:00 PM in StoryArk's classroom space shared with the Zephyr Studio, 421 South Main Street, Stillwater.
