A Very Foster Christmas and an Adoptive New Year

November 11, 2018 by Staff Contributor

A picture of a street with holiday decorations and the words "A Very Foster Christmas and an Adoptive New Year, Dec 8 4 PM"Joyful Noize Productions is putting together a show celebrating the foster/adoption community and YOU are the stars. They have an open call for story tellers who want to share their first-person foster or adoption story—these can be foster/adopted youth, grown up youth, siblings, parents, and kinship folks. As a story teller, you will tell your 5-10 minute anecdote about adoption or foster care—if there is a holiday connection, that’s a bonus. You will work with professional storytellers to craft your tale and perform it. You can also write something and have it performed by a professional if you don’t want to go on stage or prefer to remain anonymous.

To become a story teller, contact Chris Lear with your name, foster/adoption connection, and contact information. You can reach him via email, [email protected], or phone, 612.207.0649. They would like to identify the storytellers by Thanksgiving.

About the Show

“A Very Foster Christmas and an Adoptive New Year” will take place on December 8, 2018 at 4:00 p.m. at the Strike Theater in Northeast Minneapolis (824 18th Avenue NE, Minneapolis, MN 55418). Tickets are available on a slide scale from $5 to $10. Kids 5 and under get in free!
