Tales of O’side: Learning to Fly

Local writers present their work on the theme of where we came from and where we are going as a society in this dramatic reading with opportunities for audience feedback. Learning to Fly looks at works that touch on the societal expectations of our youth, our struggles to overcome challenges and find ourselves, and the process of becoming who we are. Tales of O’side is an opportunity for those who have been traditionally underrepresented in mainstage performances, such as LGBTQ+ folks, people of color, and those who experience mental health struggles, to share their own work and perspectives. Our goal is to build a literary and theater arts community fostering interactions between artists and audiences to discuss their works. Pay what you can!
