We will also be reading the names of the soldiers and are encouraging people to bring poems, stories or songs to share that afternoon. It would be great if you could come and encourage some of your students to stop by. Please feel free to share this invitation with other teachers and students. (We are expecting some high school students to come by around 3:30-4PM.)

The STORY OWNERS COLLECTIVE invites you to

THE RED THREAD:
Interwoven Performance Portraits

WHEN: November 20 and 22, 2008 

TIMES: Thursday and Saturday @ 7:30PM

THEATER: Marlene Boll Theatre, inside the Boll Family YMCA

LOCATION: 1401 Broadway, Downtown Detroit map

The Story Owners Collective announces a brand new form of personal story-telling theater, with their Detroit premier of THE RED THREAD: Interwoven Performance Portraits. The play uses personal narrative to honor individual journeys while revealing social interconnectedness. An ancient Chinese proverb speaks of an invisible red thread of destiny, which connects all humans to each other. It is said that this magical cord may tangle or stretch but will never break.

Read more about the process at the Boggs Center Blog. Help spread the word about grassroots theater in Detroit by finding us on Facebook, forwarding this invitation, or distributing/posting attached fliers and postcards.
