ABOUT THE EVENT
AN INTERGENERATIONAL GROUP OF PARTICIPANTS FROM ACROSS MEMPHIS HAVE
COLLABORATED WITH THE ORPHEUM THEATRE GROUP TO CREATE ORIGINAL
DOCUMENTARIES AND THEATRICAL PERFORMANCES SHARING THEIR STORIES IN
THEIR OWN WORDS.
STORY FEST FEATURES FREE SHORT-FILM SCREENINGS, LIVE PERFORMANCES, AND
COMMUNITY REFLECTIONS AT THE HALLORAN CENTRE WEDNESDAY, APRIL 15, 2020
AT 7PM AND THURSDAY, APRIL 16, 2020 AT 7PM. ALL PERFORMANCES WILL BE
INTERPRETED IN AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE BY BRIDGESWEST.
NIGHT ONE (APRIL 15 @ 7PM)
LISTEN UP! LEGACY 2
This digital storytelling documentary (in partnership with 7 student
artists from The Live Seed at Douglass High School) follows the
journey of young Memphians as they define and shape their individual
legacies.
FROM WHERE I STAND: LOST AND FOUND
This theatrical storytelling performance (in partnership with Overton
High School) explores stories of being lost and found. What does it
mean to be lost? What does it mean to lose ourselves, relationships,
and ideas as we develop? What does it mean to find your passion, your
friends, your sense of identity?
COMMUNITY REFLECTION
NIGHT TWO (APRIL 16 @ 7PM)
LISTEN UP! IMPACT
This digital storytelling documentary (in partnership with the
National Coalition of 100 Black Women–Memphis Chapter, The Butterfly
Effect Girls Mentoring Program, NCBW mentees from Memphis Academy of
Health Sciences Middle School, and Raising the B.A.R Community
Development) follows the journey of several Memphis based mentoring
communities programs as they discover the rippling impact of serving
others.
FROM WHERE I STAND: REFUGEE PORTRAITS
This theatrical storytelling performance (in partnership with the
Refugee Empowerment Program) asks us to look beyond the headlines and
see the real people behind them. Youth refugees perform stories about
how they grapple with identity, belief, and displacement from their
homelands. Do our differences provide a point of conflict or are they
part of a uniquely American experience? What does it mean to discover
who you are in a place so different from where you came?
