Opening Weekend
Friday April 27
 Lynn Fitch opens the festival with her world premiere, Marking Time. In the kalidescope of life, sometimes it's the music that sustains you. Lynn's journey unfolds to the sound scape of the Grateful Dead. Maybe you've seen Lynn perform at Urban Tellers. Now's your chance to see her tell a feature-length personal narrative.
Lawrence Howard has crafted a tale of Two Brothers. Two brothers grow up in the same house, with the same parents, yet they experience their parents and their childhoods so differently it almost seems they might have grown up on different planets.
 Cory Huff workshopped his piece Mormon Redneck Thespian at Fertile Gound earlier this year. Now it premieres as part of Singlehandedly! This is a story of overcoming abuse, drugs, and being a redneck, and starting on the path to normalcy.
Ryan Wolf Stroud is a narrative artist from the Pacific Northwest who draws upon an extraordinary range of experiences, from the White House to the underground and beyond. His story Homeward Bound is about family, loneliness, and belonging.
