An update from Executive Director Teri Ball on the 2012 Season:

Thank you for your support of our 2011 season, the support of our loyal subscribers and audience members helped make our move to Center Stage a great success. We opened and closed the season with sell-out performances, and throughout the season welcomed audiences full of both new and familiar faces. 

Artistic Director Maggie Mixsell is planning a great season for 2012, and you can look forward to seeing many of your favorite Speaking of Stories performers as well as some exciting new surprises. Although we have set the dates for our 2012 season, the specific stories and readers are still being scheduled, if you have a favorite story you would like to suggest, an author you would like to hear, or a theme you think would make a great performance - drop us an email or send a note. 

Each show in the season will perform twice, first with a 2:00 matinee on Sunday and then on Monday at 7:30. The 2012 performances will be January 8 and 9, February 12 and 13, March 11 and 12, April 15 and 16 and May 20 and 21. Please come back to the website for the latest news and developments.

You can subscribe for the full 5-show season or select a package of 3 or 4 shows. As a subscriber you will be able to exchange tickets during the season if you are unable to attend your original choice, and you will also receive a 20% discount on any tickets purchased in addition to your subscription seats. Just call the office to request a change or place your order, and we will do the rest.
