Hi Everyone,
The big show I’ve been telling you about for months is now accepting applications for tellers!
NAMI’s annual fundraiser, The Brainpower Chronicles, features people sharing personal stories of living with a mental health condition or being a family member/caregiver of someone with a mental health condition. A number of FGS folks have been in this show over the years, including myself. It’s always a touching, inspiring night and I’m grateful they keep asking me to host.
Here’s a brief bit of text from their website:
“This is NAMI Washington’s signature fundraising event and features true, personal stories that are hopeful and inspiring while reducing the stigma of mental illness.
This year’s event will be held on November 16th at Kane Hall on the UW Seattle Campus. UW has graciously partnered with us to host BPC this year! UW students, alumni, staff, faculty are strongly encourage to apply.”
Here’s the link to the site if you want to know more:

And here’s the link to the application form if you’d like to tell them about yourself and your story:

The application deadline is August 30 so don’t delay if you want to try to be in the show. I’m not connected with the show in any way other than hosting so I can’t give you any more details than what they have on their website.
Good luck to everyone who applies. I hope to see you onstage in November 🙂
Paul
PS – don’t forget the next FGS show is coming up in a couple of weeks on August 15. The theme is, “Fools Rush In – Stories of acting before you think”
