Looking for Love – Stories Of Opening The Heart
Saturday, Aug. 4, 7:30pm-9:15pm

Watertown Center for Healing Arts, 17 Spring St. Watertown Get tickets ahead ($20)

This is event is especially for singles, but open to all!
This is a special performance sponsored by our friends at Boston Dating School. They’re bringing True Story Theater in to do a special show for their group, and they wanted to invite you as well.

Have you ever thought about the crazy journey that your heart has gone through during your life? I bet you have lots of stories of what it’s been like to try and find lasting love… to try and open the heart again and again no matter what.

Or perhaps you have a story of something that happened to you that closed your heart and made you afraid to ever open it again. We all do, right? Sometimes we feel discouraged, but then something happens (or some person happens) that inspires us and makes us believe in love again.

This is rich, beautiful territory to explore, and that’s exactly why we wanted to let you know about a brand new show we’re doing. We want to honor that tender place inside of you that won’t give up… that part of you that knows it deserves love and keeps trying to stay open no matter what life throws at you.

What happens in a True Story Theater performance?  Our events bring together the delight of improvisation with the courageous vulnerability of people sharing their personal truth.

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. During the course of a 75 minute show, True Story enacts about 6-8 stories.

From this simple interaction, audience members feel validated, laugh, cry, get insights about their lives, and feel an expanded sense of community. You can share a moment from your life and see it performed, or just come to watch.

What are True Story Theater’s classes like?  We will teach you the basics of Playback Theatre, which can hone your listening skills for everyday life.  All are welcome.  Classes are supportive, informal, intimate, and fun, an enriching experience for both newcomers and experienced actors.
