The Nora Project reading on Thursday, December 8th was magical. As I witnessed the ripples of “gap bridging” in the audience, I was deeply happy that Nora’s was able to support this outreach to these amazing girls and women.
— Caroline Reddick Lawson, Artistic Director
Over the past ten weeks, a group of teenage girls from Lanier High School and elder women from the Montgomery community, have been meeting once a week to get to know one another, share their life stories, and explore the art of storytelling. Each was then tasked with writing a short play based on something they heard in their inter-generational partner’s story.
Join us when experienced local actors read these original short scripts in front of a live audience.
