REAL PEOPLE REAL STORIES is an audience favorite and mainstay in AOH’s seasonal programming. The RPRS approach involves a series of storytelling workshops. In these workshops, local residents develop and shape their monologues with guidance from program director Paul Ricciardi. The results are an array of poignant, humorous, and captivating tales that celebrate community and personal connection.
RPRS reflects the heart of AOH’s mission - to provide the community a unique, intimate opportunity to connect and engage with one another through theatrical performance.
