Off Night Stories: Winter Holidays/
After a successful inaugural production of "Proof" in July of this year, Off Night Productions, Bloomington’s newest women-lead theatre company, was excited to host local audiences at the John Waldron Arts Center's Whikehart Auditorium for an evening of hilarious and heartfelt holiday stories. "Off Night Stories: Winter Holidays" was the first installment in a series of annual, live storytelling events.
Following the format of the popular live storytelling events produced by The Moth, “Off Night Stories: Winter Holidays” featured a series of true stories about the holiday season, told live on stage in front of an audience. The show included performances from new and well known artists, including Steve Scott, Greta Lind, Darrell Anne Stone, Richard Crowe, Malcolm Abrams, Ana Ximena Cordero, and Mary Catherine Carmichael. Each story was performed concert-style with original underscoring and interludes by local musician Ben Jackson.
Thanks to all the friends, family, arts lovers, and ONP fans who came out to enjoy the show.

The Story Series Before Off Night Stories

Before Off Night Productions, from 2017-2018, producer Aubrey Seader was the creator and co-producer of the Ivy Tech Storytelling Series (ITSS).
This series produced four live storytelling events, each presenting 5-6 true stories, told live, addressing a different social issue of importance to the Bloomington community. The ITSS themes included "Immigrants, Refugees, & Asylum Seekers," "Reproductive Rights," "On Race," and "On Work." This live storytelling series, alongside Aubrey's work on the Hijabi Diaries Podcast, and the Mother Line Story Project, created the foundational production skills Aubrey needed to start Off Night Productions. The stories also lead her to pursue her academic interest in the power of theatre to improve public health. |
