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 [...]

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. After introductions, hugs, and food (a big part of any workshop experience as far as I'm concerned), we settled into a table read. 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 [...]

A Story About Flaunting Curves and Body Image

By Every Family's Got One Guest Writer -- Molly England image by rawpixel.com My curves are an outward symbol of my inner-stress. Contrary to how the Dove ads would like me to feel—I’m not in love with them, and I certainly don’t want to show them off this summer.  I know that in this enlightened, feminist-rising era, curves are symbolic of powerful women who aren’t ashamed of their bodies.  My story is not one of shame... but I do feel uncomfortable in my expanding waistline and chaffing thighs.  My growing size is a manifestation of mounting pressure, my struggle to cope, and a reliance on mindless eating. Self-care is on the back burner, and it shows in the tight grip of my jean shorts. I remember my first diet. [...]
