Since 2000, in support of Indiana storytellers, Storytelling Arts of Indiana annually awards two financial fellowships for the develoment and premiere of a new story. The winners this year are:
It was 1943. At the age of 17, John Robertson makes the monumental decision to join the Navy. The Navy affords him the opportunity to mature from boyhood to manhood, to continue his education and to travel. Join John as he tells I Grew Up in the U.S. Navy.
Sondra E. Hayes' story With this Brush scans one hundred and three years of the life of her mother Eva Mae Danforth James. As a result of early childhood adversity, Eva learns to make things better with her 'brush' by creating beauty in the midst of chaos and decay. A true optimist in every sense of the word, she believed that "Everything will always work out." Eva's story is our story as it reflects the history, culture and social mores of our nation.
