Storytelling Programs
♦ Six storytellers tell ten minute tales based on a common theme. No scripts. The mainstay of such connected programming is that the storytellers are your friends and neighbors and the stories they tell are from the heart—just as they want to tell them.
The storytellers are recruited, or volunteer, through local networks and word of mouth as well as media, viral and print publicity. They are all given an equal chance to run their story by Ina Chadwick and Bill Bosch. Most storytellers require one or two 30 minute coaching sessions held at mutually agreed times in accessible places. We make sure they feel confident in their story. ♦ see them, hear them.
♦ The Big Night ♦
Here's the flyer for our Big Night of February 9, 2012
Each show features a first half, an intermission which allows audience members to throw their names in a hat and get picked or three minutes to tell a story on the theme of the night at the beginning of the second half. There are substantial appetizers offered when the doors open, and a cash bar that’s open during the entire show.
Customized Programs
♦ Awake After Dark™ (but home early enough in the suburbs) ♦ is a trademarked program create for an arts center. The suburban audience’s concerns about going out week nights inspired us to use this name for the program and its success depended on our commitment to deliver entertainment and community connection within a 2 hour frame work.
♦ On the Road with MouseMuse™ ♦ is a program where, if possible, we present the same top quality programming outdoors without a sponsoring gallery or collaborative institution.
♦ Stories on the Green ™ ♦ was developed in conjunction with the Fairfield Museum and History Center, but works well for any town wishing to highlight its historical installations.
♦ Adventures in Parenting ™ ♦ is a program presented in collaboration with the Landmark Academy in Fairfield County, CT. The themes are developed with the pre-school director with the intent of allowing parents to share in one of life’s greatest and toughest journeys, parenting.
