Worth Repeating is back, and we kicked off the 2024-2025 season with true stories on the theme Snatched. This is the first part of the live event which included stories about two different reclamations of identity, stolen childhood, and a lost city. Shocking, emotional, and teeming with honesty these stories highlight the importance of regaining lost items.
Over twenty people submitted stories that ranged from petty theft to rediscovering their identity after a loss. Seven were selected and went through a three-week process where they shared their stories, worked with a volunteer storyboard member, attended a workshop and rehearsal all before taking the stage at the Irma and Emilio Nicolas Media Center at TPR.
Worth Repeating needs storytellers like you. Submissions are currently open for true stories on various themes including titles like, Creeped, Altered, Inherited and more. Each theme can have multiple iterations so make sure to encourage a storyteller to check us out by visiting tpr.org/wr. All stories are worth repeating. Telling a story in front of an audience not your jam? Make plans to be in the crowd at our next live event on the theme Creeped, October 8, 2024.
