listening event to celebrate the creation of new audio work by nine students at
this spring’s Transom Story Workshop. It
will be held from 7 – 9:30 pm on Thursday, May 23<sup>rd</sup>, at the
Community Hall, 68 Water Street, in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Admission is free. Seats fill quickly, so
come early.</span></p>

Jay Allison says, “It's always great to see the community turn out for this
event. For us locals, this graduation ceremony is like unwrapping presents. The
students have found wonderful stories hiding in plain sight on the Cape, Coast
and Islands, and we learn about where we live through their experience.”</span><span style="font-family:Baskerville,serif"><br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Times"><span style="font-family:Baskerville,serif">The students arrived in Woods Hole in late
March to learn the craft of audio storytelling. They traveled from Texas, West
Virginia, Washington DC, North Carolina, Brooklyn, and Newfoundland, and range
in age from their early 20s to late 30s.
Their stories are about local people and issues, and it’s likely that
some of the subjects will be in the audience. A question and answer period will
follow each piece.</span></p>

listing all the stories students are producing sounds like a riddle," says
Rob Rosenthal, the lead instructor for the Workshops. "Something like:
What do a Polish puppeteer, two rookie shepherds, a recovering alcoholic, and a
homeless Unitarian congregation have in common? Well, they're all stories
students are producing as the Transom Story Workshops this spring. I hope
you'll join us to hear this diverse group of stories."</span><span style="font-family:Baskerville,serif"></span></p>

ceremony and the public is urged to join us in applauding <i>Transom Story Workshop’s</i> 16th graduating class. </span></p>
