Above: Two school years ago (and last year), NSBORO community members workshopped their personal stories before sharing them on stage. The district is offering another opportunity this school year. (images from past flyers*)
The Northborough-Southborough Public Schools are seeking community members interested in participating in the district’s third annual “Story Bridge”. Applicants will be selected to participate in workshops to prepare them to tell stories from their own lives on stage this spring.
This time, participants include anyone ages 14+ who is a member of the NSBORO community “including, but not limited to” students, parents, staff, faculty, “and more!”.
Following up on past successful effort, Southborough’s Jennifer De Leon and Adam Stumacher will again lead the initiative.
The authors and parents will guide participants in identifying compelling stories from their lives, writing and shaping them, and practicing telling them aloud.
Applications are due by Friday January 17th with notifications made on January 24th.
Participants will work on their stories over the winter, practicing in small groups with supportive feedback. Most meetings will be over zoom, but a couple will be at Algonquin’s Black Box Theater — where the final performance will be held on March 27th.
