The Connecticut Historical Society is excited to partner with Speak Up to bring their unique brand of engaging storytelling to our members and visitors. The theme of the evening is "Misinterpreted: Stories about Mixed Messages and Miscommunication" which connects to the themes of our current exhibit, "Language, Culture, Communities: 200 Years of Impact by the American School for the Deaf"which is on view until October 21. This show will seek to be inclusive of both the deaf, hard of hearing and hearing communities and will be fully accessible with American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters.
Speak Up is a Hartford-based storytelling organization that seeks to promote the art of personal storytelling to a wide audience and build a community of storytellers in Connecticut. Speak Up brings professional and amateur storytellers to stage to share true stories from their lives. Speak Up founders and producers Matthew and Elysha Dicks work closely with storytellers to help them craft their stories for the stage and teach storytelling workshops to storytellers at all levels.
Speak Up storytelling shows feature 6-8 storytellers who tell true stories from their lives on a predetermined theme. Shows showcase a blend of seasoned storytellers and people telling stories for the first time. Stories are 6-8 minutes in length. Shows are hosted by Speak Up producer Elysha Dicks, and storyteller and producer Matthew Dicks serves as one of the storytellers for the evening.
