Auditions Announced for trueBASEBALL at trueTHEATRE

TRUE_logoWhether you have a true, personal, baseball-themed story to pitch for our Spring show or you want to play spectator, we invite you to the Northside Tavern on Wednesday, March 14th, to experience True Theatre’s first-ever LIVE audition night!

We’re ultimately looking for 5 people to tell their stories in 10 – 12 minute form as part of the lineup at our April 30th show, but before that, we need to find them.   We’re asking that those interested in pitching a story prepare a 4 – 5 minute mini-version of their story. Those brave enough to take the mic get a drink on us and a ticket to the show (to share with a friend if we end up drafting you!).

We won’t be able to accommodate everyone who wants to pitch on our roster for the evening, so be sure to reserve you spot by giving us a preview through our website at https://www.truetheatre.com/contact-1/.

Doors “open” at 6:30 in the back. At 7, it will be time to play ball!
This isn’t the only way to pitch a story for trueBASEBALL, but it’s the first way and those who wait until after, risk missing their chance.

So come on down for socializing, storytelling, and what are probably going to be some very obvious baseball puns!

To learn more about us, visit our website or write us with any questions at info@truetheatre.com.

Date: Wednesday, March 14
Time: 6:30 socializing/7:00 go!
Where: The Northside Tavern,  4163 Hamilton Ave A, Cincinnati, OH 45223
Cost: FREE

See you there!

Storytellers Needed for trueBASEBALL at trueTHEATRE

TRUE_logo“trueSONG” was a chart-topper, thanks to the great storytellers and record-breaking crowd at Memorial Hall! But we’re no one-hit wonder. The hits keep coming with our next show, “trueBASEBALL” (see what we did there?) on April 30th at 7:30 PM.

We still have room for more storytellers, so if you have a pitch (we did it again!) to make about America’s pastime, go to our website and throw one out (the faster you submit, the sooner the puns stop!): http://www.truetheatre.com/contact-1/

Discount tickets for the last two shows of this season are also on sale now at Memorial Hall! http://bit.ly/2ticketsub

If it can be said that everyone has a story to tell, then it is probably also true that everybody has a song in their heart. Whether sung or heard, songs mark our milestones and remind us of those special moments in our lives. Come hear stories about the songs that made a difference… for better or for worse!

Storytellers Needed for trueVETERAN at trueTHEATRE

TRUE_logoTrue Theatre launches Season 8 on Monday, October 30, in the beautiful Memorial Hall with “trueVETERAN”, a theme that couldn’t be more appropriate to their new digs (built, as it was, to honor Cincinnati Veterans of the Spanish-American War and U.S. Civil War).

We’re looking for 5 true, personal stories by- and about Veterans for this show.

Although True Theatre always seeks to approach each show’s theme from different angles, in this case we are looking only for stories about military veterans. Within that context, we will be seeking a variety of approaches to the theme.

It is likely that all (or most) of the storytellers in this show will be Veterans and stories will be about specific events that occurred while- or after serving, but we will entertain stories from people who may not be Veterans themselves, but who have been involved with a Veteran(s) and whose story is about that involvement.

We have a feeling that we will be receiving a lot of story submissions for this show, so we apologize in advance that we can only take 5.

If you have a story that you would like to be considered for inclusion in “trueVETERAN”, write us at stories@truetheatre.com or visit https://www.truetheatre. com/contact-1/.
