The Stories We Carry
With Barrington Stage Company
Join actor and associate artist Mark H. Dold in this two-part workshop blending storytelling, emotional insight, and empathy. Write a brief autobiographical story, hear it read aloud by a fellow participant, and reflect or revise it. Life is a series of stories. Use this opportunity to deepen your empathy for experiences unlike yours and find a more authentic connection to your own.
Day 1 | 3:00 – 3:50 pm
You’ll write a short, first-person story from your life. Something funny, meaningful, maybe even hard to share. Then here’s the twist: you’ll give it to someone else to read aloud. They won’t know it’s yours. You’ll hear your own experience reflected through a stranger’s voice, and they’ll get a glimpse into a life they’ve never lived.
Day 2 | 4:00 – 4:50 pm
We reveal who wrote what. You’ll have the chance to read your own story, revise it, or simply reflect on what it felt like to hear it shared by someone else.
Thursday & Friday, July 31 & August 1, 2025
Hear My Soul Speak
With Shakespeare & Company
Explore how Shakespeare’s stories still resonate today to inform, inspire, and reflect our world through themes of awareness, nature, strength, and voice. Join Romeo and Juliet Director Kevin Coleman and Vocal Coach Ariel Bock for an engaging discussion on the power of persuasion, passion, and the full expression of our emotional truths.
Thursday, July 31 | 1:00 – 1:50 pm
Friday, August 1 | 10:00 – 10:50 am
NAMI WORKSHOPS
Friday, August 1, 2025 | 3:00 - 4:15 pm
Make a Vision Board
Simplify the path to accomplishing your goals by visually representing what you want to achieve in this class with NAMI National Ambassador Elise Banks-Lovely. Discuss the importance of goal setting and enjoy a glass of wine while you explore vision-board-making techniques to create a personalized board to take home.
Saturday, August 2, 2025 | 3:00 - 3:50 pm
Embrace Your New Chapter
The narrative of our lives can bring twists, turns, highlights, and low points. Join NAMI National Ambassador Elise Banks-Lovely to gain tools and resources for embracing a new life chapter with healthy coping skills and a positive mindset.
