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/.

Over-the-Rhine

It’s man (and woman) vs. nature as told by the people who faced Mother Nature and returned with a story to tell.

Although great storytelling is not limited to true, personal stories, True Theatre believes that these real moments of our lives, from the mundane to the extraordinary, give both the speaker AND the listener the ultimate sense of being part of a larger community than they were aware.

Come join us for an evening of True Theatre …where time slows down and we can listen.
