We use theater and the arts as a medium for social reflection and relationship building. Our programs develop self-awareness and communication skills with populations behind visible and invisible social walls such as those created by incarceration, addiction and poverty. Through writing and performing, people behind walls are empowered to reclaim their own voices and strengths. Polarization and Isolation was conducted with a dozen participants in Feb-Mar 2025 as a way to support emotional resilience in dealing with stress from the Nov 2024 election. A public performance, attended by several dozen people, was conducted at the Bugbee Senior Center in White River Junction Vermont. 0 3100 In June 2025, Telling My Story conducted its annual Housing Insecurity workshop.
