True Theatre Seeks Your Story on “Learning”

True Theatre is looking for stories on “LEARNING” for their first show of their third season (Monday, October 15, 2012)

Time to go back to school with True Theatre! Whether it was in the classroom or on the streets, teaching or being taught, learning is a part of all our lives and all of this evening’s stories. Will YOUR story be among them?

True Theatre is producing trueLEARNING, which will run for one night only on Monday, October 15th at the Know Theatre in downtown Cincinnati. They are now making appointments with people to hear their true, personal, LEARNING-related stories for possible inclusion in the show. Appointments will be for Saturday, September 8 or by arrangement. If you have a story you would like True Theatre to consider for this show, reach out to them at truetheatre.com/contact.html or by writing stories@truetheatre.com. They will work with you to set an appointment and provide directions.

On the night of the show, stories will be expected to fit into a 10-15 minute time window and be told without notes. For the initial appointment, it is hoped, but not mandatory, that candidates can come close to these constraints. Unique approaches to the theme are welcome.

Following the consideration period, True Theatre will select five (5) stories for the show which fit the theme, have a good structure, and which balance nicely against the other stories selected.

If your story is selected for the show, you will be expected to work with True Theatre to find time to participate in 1 – 3 rehearsals (as needed) and then participate in the show.

Other shows that True Theatre is producing this season (and for which they are looking for storytellers) include:

• January 7, 2013: trueCINCINNATI: Stories about our favorite city and our home.
• April 8, 2013: trueMISCHIEF: These storytellers have been up to no good! …or are the victims of those who were. Come hear about pranks and pranksters and the sneaky things that go on when you’re not looking!
• July 29, 2012: trueCRIME: The crime rate in the summer is higher than at any other time of the year. Duck for cover with True Theatre for these stories of crime and punishment.

[All shows are at 7:30PM]

If you have a story that you think fits one of these themes or just have one that you *gotta *share, reach out to True Theatre by the methods listed above.
