This week,
New Route Theatre will present something they're calling
Her*Story, or "A Showcase of Original Personal Stories by Women from the Bloomington Normal Community." There's a lot of information packed in there, but it's important. Yes, these are
her stories.
They are new, they come from the heart, they represent what individual women find important, and they come from women in
this community, like contributors Lauren Berry, Kat Gregory, Elaine Hill, Jajwanica Johnson, Genevieve Pilon and Diane Walker and co-creators Heather Carnahan and Rachel Lewis. Carnahan, a graduate of Illinois State University's Masters program in theatre, also serves as director.

What will you see?
Her*Story is composed of "original stories reflecting on moments that impacted
the contributors’ lives. This performance piece provides insights into
what it means to be a woman facing the challenges of today’s society.
Stories elicit both laughter and tears, frustration and anger, as these
remarkable women bravely share their stories of both joy and heartbreak."
Performance are scheduled for Friday and Saturday March 24 & 25 at 7:30 pm and Sunday the 26th at 2:30 pm at the First Christian Church located at 401 West Jefferson Street in Bloomington. And admission is also a bargain -- you can either donate any feminine care product you choose or $5.00 at the door.
