A Storytelling Workshop with LaRoyce Hawkins
A class for masters open to grow — where experience meets imagination.

About the Workshop
What if a class didn't center on expertise, but on experience?
Lifting As We Climb is an intimate workshop led by actor, poet, and creative LaRoyce Hawkins—best known for his decade-long role on NBC’s Chicago P .D.—designed for graduate-level actors ready to expand their craft and reshape their career journeys.
This is more than an acting class. It’s a moment of reflection, recalibration, and storytelling rooted in real-life lessons.
Workshop Overview
What to Expect
In this experience-focused session, participants will prepare two monologues:
- One to struggle with
- One you feel strong in
Together, we’ll break them down, reimagine them, and compare notes. This isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being real.
