Photo by Neil Kramer Photography From auditions to workshops to show day, we’ve had so much fun. Check out these photos from Neil Kramer – they really capture the essence of the evening. (And if Neil looked familiar as he walked around the audience that’s because he told a story about his childhood nickname in last year’s Every Family’s Got One show.) Many thanks to our 2019 Cast.

Tonight’s a Great Night for Storytelling

By Every Family's Got One Founder -- Barbara Herel  Tonight, the 2019 cast of Every Family’s Got One takes the stage at My Father’s Place to tell their family stories. I am so very excited for them and for the audience members who get to witness all the fun and drama firsthand.   I tell you… this little dream I had of bringing together different voices to share their true family narratives – and create a supportive storytelling-writing workshop to boot – is actually happening. I’m certainly not creating all this magical goodness by myself. It takes people like [...]

A Story About a Boy and his Mama

By Every Family's Got One Guest Writer -- Neil Kramer Image from rawpixel.com My mother was in her yoga class in Boca Raton last week, doing one of her chair exercises, when another woman accidentally moved the chair that my mother was leaning against for support.   My mother fell back, hit the floor, and when she stood up, the teacher noticed blood.   The paramedics... quickly came and she received three stitches in the back of her head.   She’s OK now, or “Perfectly fine,” as she always says, and already back in the exercise class.

EFGO Writers Workshop: It was great!

By Every Family's Got One Founder -- Barbara Herel  Image from rawpixel.com Last Sunday, the cast of Every Family’s Got One came together for our first Writers Workshop.

A table read if you didn’t know is just that – sitting around the table, paper in hand, reading our stories. Here are 3 things that made my heart soar: 1. Even in this most casual of settings, the stories came to life. There is an emotional [...]
