Janette Martinez, Jasmine Henri Jordan, and Mariana Green were the actresses involved in the rehearsals for the first public sharing of Stories From My Mother.
Group interviews were transcribed by Sindy from both the March and July workshops and additional stories were gathered. Actresses built on the initial ideas developed in the two other workshops and shared their own stories with each other. Devised scenes and moments were recorded by Sindy and transcribed. A working script was developed and shaped by Sindy and the actresses.
All rehearsals were held at the Studio Theatre in the Chicago Cultural Center. Simple tech elements such as sound and lights were added during the final week of rehearsals before the presentation on August 6.
