An ensemble of ten gathered to read "Fire Water Crew" Julie Rosier's first full length play at the Northfield Center for the Arts. The reading was warmly received by a small invited audience.
Members of the Seward Ensemble decided to make their stories into audio recordings instead of building towards a final staged production. They are seen here after a day of recording their red thread stories.
The Seward Ensemble conducted several workshops to help craft personal narratives. Ensemble members seen here used popular education techniques to draw out collective themes in the writing.
