ANCRAM OPERA HOUSE SEEKS LOCAL STORYTELLERS

FOR NEXT REAL PEOPLE REAL STORIES

An evening of homegrown stories told by local residents

Ancram Opera House seeks local storytellers for its popular series REAL
PEOPLE REAL STORIES, which will take place on Saturday, June 25 at 8 pm in
The Hilltop Barn at the Roeliff Jansen Park in Hillsdale, NY.

Interested participants can email a story summary to
paul at ancramoperahouse.org. The deadline to submit stories is Monday, June
6. All stories must be true, experienced first-hand by the storyteller, and
run no more than 15 minutes.

Ancram Opera House Director Paul Ricciardi created REAL PEOPLE REAL STORIES
in 2016, and now conducts storytelling workshops throughout the region,
including an ongoing residency at Taconic Hills Central School District.

“REAL PEOPLE REAL STORIES has become an audience favorite that we produce
twice a year” said Ricciardi. “It seems that now, more than ever, people
have a deep need to listen to, and tell stories.”

Ricciardi works with storytellers to help them prepare their stories for
the stage. “The goal is not to create a polished monologue, but to allow
the spontaneity of a real-life story to shine through,” he said.

The Roeliff Jansen Park Hilltop Barn, where REAL PEOPLE REAL STORIES will
take place, is located at 116 Old Route 22, Hillsdale, NY, across from the
Roeliff Jansen Community Library. Ancram Opera House is located at 1330
County Route 7, in Ancram. For more information visit
