“Hopes & Dreams” with True Story Theater

Saturday, Jan 18, 7:30-9:00pm
Arlington Center for the Arts, 20 Academy St. 3rd fl., Arlington MA

We have a dream: what are our hopes and fears (for our community and for our country) in 2020?

Our performances bring together the delight of improvisation with the compelling vulnerability of people like you sharing their personal truth. You can share a moment from your life and see it performed, or just come to watch. The show’s emcee (called “the conductor”) facilitates brief, spontaneous conversations with volunteers from the audience who share their own feelings and experiences related to the show’s theme.  After each conversation, the actors and musician immediately embody the key feelings and actions they heard, using movement, music, dialogue, and superb listening. All of it is improvised on the spot. From this simple interaction, audience members laugh, cry, get insights about their lives, and feel an expanded sense of community.
