Got a Story to Tell?

Ancram Opera House is seeking local storytellers for its popular series Real People Real Stories, which will close out the 2019 season on Saturday, December 21. Those interested in sharing a story should email a story summary to paul@ancramoperahouse.org or leave a one-minute version of the story on AOH's pitch line at 518 250-9791. The deadline for submitting stories is Friday, December 6. All stories must be true, experienced firsthand by the storyteller, and can run no more than fifteen minutes.

AOH's Real People Real Stories, inspired by The Moth Radio Hour on NPR, has become an audience favorite, produced twice a year. AOH director Paul Ricciardi works with storytellers to help them prepare their stories for the stage. Says Ricciardi, "The goal is not to create a polished monologue, but to allow the spontaneity of a real-life story to shine through."

Ancram Opera House is located at 1330 County Route 7, just north of the corner of Route 82. For more information, visit www.ancramoperahouse.org.
