The Beth Lapides Workshop

Beth is a superlative teacher; offering insight, compassion and precise feedback. I have taken plenty of performance classes through out LA and across the country, Beth Lapides workshop is OUTSTANDING!!! Regardless of what you are working on Beth has the knowledge and performance chops to help you exponentially evolve as a performer. I am so impressed with Beth Lapides teaching style. I have been auditing her class this month and can’t wait to participate next month.

As a huge and long-​time fan of Beth and her UnCabaret show, I already knew Beth to be hilarious, amazing and capable of getting other professionally funny people to come up with brilliant, original performances. If you’ve never seen the show, it’s a must!
I first came to Beth’s workshop when I was frustrated over trying to write fiction, and on a lark to improve my ability to tell funny stories, as in be more amusing at dinner parties. I got so much more than I bargained for! Beth is an encyclopedia of creative pursuits and has killer taste in comedy. She helped me make decisions on every aspect of my creative endeavors, and greatly encouraged me to not only find the humor in, but shape my life stories for best comedic effect. I also got to see how she brought out the best work in my classmates, tailored to their highly individual goals.
Over a year of Beth’s sessions, I also got a wealth of comedic knowledge and some of her «secrets» that I haven’t heard anywhere else.
I was a frustrated writer and jittery public speaker when I walked in, and ended up feeling confident in my plans and abilities. I’ve gone on to workout regularly at open mics and have performed in a few comedy shows. Truly something I never would’ve imagined!

Beth 1000% Rocks! She operates these workshops witnessing what wants to be born and offers advice and humor to support the authentic expression of truth to flow through. Shifts and breakthroughs are a common occurrence through the work, discipline and presence of this workshop where you literally ‘work it out’
Do yourself a favor and put your creative plans into ‘go time’ action with Beth.
Enjoy!

I took Beth’s workshop with a vague idea of cultivating my creativity, whatever that meant. She was able to hear what I had to say and help me focus my writing and pinpoint a direction to go in. She is incredibly perceptive and can see things that I totally missed. I am forever grateful to Beth for her help in not just cultivating my creativity but helping me find what was hidden and bring it out on my own.
She creates a safe and fruitful atmosphere to thrive. Each person has five minutes to share and then another five minutes to receive explicit feedback. I sat there the first night and as I heard what she said to the others I developed an absolute trust in her wisdom and kindness. I believed and trusted what she said to me.
I’ve taken her workshop three times and each time a feeling of camaraderie has developed in the group because the participants are not in competition with each other. Beth creates a supportive space where we all want each other to succeed and she brings out our best.
If you are even THINKING about taking this workshop, you should. It’s for everybody.
