"Mama Stories" May 5th
Join Erin and the cast of The Teller’s Garden this First Friday, May 5th at The Portland Media Center. Our theme is “Mama Stories” in honor of Mother’s Day and we invite audience members to volunteer true stories from their lives on this theme:
Moms, mamas, mothers, grandmothers, adopted mothers, chosen moms, the mother we have or don’t have and the mother we are, or aren’t… Mothers raise us with so much and raise so much in us. What story, moment, or memory comes to mind and heart when you reflect on this theme? In rehearsal company members shared a range of stories, from the nurturer, to the challenger, to the worrier, to the adventurer, and much more. We want to hear your story and play it back… Let’s watch!
Playback joins the art of improvisation with deep listening and creative expression to honor the universal in our shared human experience. Each performance in a unique blend of real life grit, including the highs and lows and everything in between, and artistic interpretation by our actors.
We create a safe space in which all “tellers” are welcome and —we hope— moved to share from the heart with the aim of relating deeply to one another’s lived experiences.
Join us!
