Animal Story

Join Compassion Arts for the debut of a new performing arts program, ANIMAL STORY, a staged reading for reconnecting audiences to animals through the power of story.

The events features a performance by multi-media artist, composer, musician, animal advocate, and performer Michael Harren, who will be presenting a one-person staged reading of selected true stories written by animal advocates who devote their lives to animals as well as personal stories by ordinary people who care deeply for the animals.

The multi-media reading brings meaningful stories together with music and visual imagery to create a snapshot of the ways animals shape peoples lives. This educational, heartfelt, and thought-provoking narrative tapestry takes the audience on a journey of healing and reflection to form new perspectives about other animals and ourselves.

The performance will be directed by Emerie Snyder, a Brooklyn-based theatre director and creator of new work as well as a longtime animal advocate. It is produced by
Ellie Sarty, the founder of Compassion Arts and a singer-songwriter for over 35 years With a catalog of over 200 songs,

Catch one of two ANIMAL STORY performances, on Friday, Nov 1 or Saturday, Nov 2.
