SpeakeasyDC Looking for Diversity

This is from Amy Sedman coordinator at SpeakeasyDC she is looking for more Hispanic Diversity at her shows. The following is a brief written by Saidman regarding information about the Washington D.C. based Organization




SpeakeasyDC is as non-profit performing arts organization based in Washington, DC that is dedicated to the simple art of telling true stories on stage. We produce over 20 shows a year including a monthly open mic series and a number of special events. We offer extensive coaching and a variety of classes and learning opportunities each year.

We would love to hear more Latino voices on our stage. All are welcome to perform at our monthly open mic storytelling series. It takes place on the 2nd Tuesday of every month in Washington, DC (U Street, NW) and serves an audience of over 3000 a year. Each night there is a theme (such as “Survivor: Stories about getting by, toughing it out and working the system”). Free coaching is provided.
You can see videos, listen to our podcast, sign up to tell a story, and find out more at http://www.speakeasydc.org/.

For those not quite ready to jump right on stage, SpeakeasyDC offers a variety of classes. Our next four-week comprehensive courses–Storytelling 101—will begin on June 15, 2010, and our next scheduled one-day Storytelling Boot Camp will take place on July 31, 2010. Both classes are for beginners. We are offering a 25% discount on classes to anyone who mentions Hispanic Link through the November 30, 2010. Email info@speakeasydc.org and include “Hispanic Link Discount” in the subject.
