Stories Connect Us. Share Your Story.
Do you have a story you want to share? We’d love to hear it! As an ongoing project, we are collecting stories from the amazing people we meet across the country. Your stories could then transform into a new piece of theater we’ll bring back on tour! Through our programs, we’ve connected with communities from coast to coast, from the Southwest to the Great Lakes.

Round Trip: Virtual Story Circles
The Connecting Routes Project’s core belief is that there’s more that unites us than divides: that “Stories Connect Us.” In this unique moment, we’ve adopted a new online storytelling method, inspired through a program with the U.S. Department of Arts and Culture. Utilizing the connective power of story circles and Zoom, we have launched “Round Trip: Virtual Story Circles."
We will be offering a story circle online every month in 2021, with communities all across the country. Round Trip is free, lasts 60-90 minutes, and is structured to provide each storyteller an equitable amount of time to participate. No prior storytelling experience is necessary, and no need to prepare anything in advance. Just bring yourself! Circles are kept small and intimate to ensure a safe, welcoming space.
Round Trip is a place for folks to share their stories, but most importantly it’s a chance for communities across the nation to gather, listen to each other, and find the common ground. We look forward to connecting with you and hearing your stories!
our next story circle is on Monday, may 16, 2021 at 7pm cst!
