Your history is the greatest script ever written. 🎭✨

Ever wondered if your own family stories have a place on stage? The answer is a resounding yes. Join us for our March Adult Acting Lab: Performing Family History.

We’re kicking things off with a special, free performance of “My Dead: An Immigrant’s Story” by Carolyn Hartvigsen on March 1st—a show that has captivated audiences from London to Norway. Then, throughout March, Carolyn will guide you in turning your own roots into “mini-plays,” finding raw honesty and connection through documentary theatre.

• Kickoff Performance: March 1st at 6pm
•Acting Lab: Saturdays, March 7th–28th from 3:30–5:30pm
