AUDIENCE FEEDBACK
"I love the creativity it takes to translate these letters to the stage. This iteration of the show was very female centric. The stories were powerful, the actors were amazing storrytellers and the dancing was very impactful. This is not the first time I’ve seen this show and certainly won’t be my last."

concept
Developed by writer and performer Miriam Wasmund, Your Faithful Reader merges the worlds of acting and dance with real letters.
Interested participants were mailed writing prompts—suggestions of letters they may want to write: to others (known and unknown), to themselves, to their most beloved objects, or even the intangible.
The response was pages of heartfelt words, ranging from the romantic and fun to the most honest and brutal truths.
Now a company of actors, dancers, and creatives have given the letters (both anonymous and signed) new life in Your Faithful Reader.
