The Theatre Story Archive is an oral history initiative to preserve and share stories of the theater. We are creating a space for the makers of theatre.

Buy the team "a cup of coffee*" or support a full project!

The goal of our first public project, Quarantine Stories, is to capture the feelings, experiences, and responses to the challenge of COVID-19 in our individual and shared lives. Theatre communities create together in shared spaces and with shared energy. Artists have an impulse to create and share stories with others. We have had to wrestle with creating art in new ways or not being able to create art. Social media can’t capture the depth of our stories. Let’s share the valuable connections we have and our impulse to create by capturing the setting, the feelings, the journey that each of us has gone through and are still going through.

We are storytellers, often of the stories of other characters, however, there is power in telling of own stories and connect through the diversity of our lived experiences.

* All crowd funding donations must be processed through FracturedAtlas.org and will go to support the artists and expenses of the new Quarantine Stories project and the Theatre Story Archive.
