Living Stories is a therapeutic arts program in which people from underserved communities learn to create original dramatic works from their real-life experiences.
​
​
Through playfulness and games and within a safe community of peers, stories that participants wish to develop are identified. A selection of these stories are shaped into dramatic works and presented publicly.
​
Programs are customized to fit each group's particular needs and goals.
Public presentations to peers, the public, recorded (audio) or videotaped.

A preview of the Living Stories for seniors program created for Westchester Collaborative Theater's Inaugural Hudson Valley New Voices Festival: Vintage Voices - this program was adapted for the COVID lock down of 2021.
"We were so pleased that 2 of the stories presented in HVNV Vintage Voices 2021 were selected for further play development and presented to a live audience at WCT in HVNV 2022."
"When we become the storytellers of our lives, we are no longer victims of circumstance.
We are artists - who make things happen, who write the next chapter, who change the ending."
Theatre Lab Co-Founder Deb Gottesman, from her TEDx Talk on Life Stories
