your faithful reader
A sharing. A letting go. A passing of stories.
AN EXPERIENTIAL THEATRE PERFORMANCE BY MIRIAM WASMUND & COMPANY
Dear Audience Member,
It is with deep regret that we must inform you the Fall 2024 production of Your Faithful Reader at Teatro Latea has been postponed due to construction issues at the venue. Rest assured that this new iteration of Your Faithful Reader will proceed, albeit not as soon as originally planned. Please be sure to keep an eye on this space or subscribe to our newsletter for forthcoming details as to when our next production will take place.
However, as clouds have silver linings and lemons are sweeter as lemonade, we are making the best of this situation. Therefore, we would like to invite you to one (or both!) of our pivot events. For those of you who have already purchased tickets, we will be reaching out separately with next steps. We truly thank you for your support and understanding.
With love,
Miriam Wasmund & Company
ANNOUNCEMENT
AUDIENCE FEEDBACK
Dear unwritten word,
Your Faithful Reader has arrived at the beginning of another creative process and we are looking for new contributors!
What is needed is you—your words, your fresh take, your spin and insight on the unexpected, the funny, the challenging, the heartbreaking, the ethereal, the life altering, and the just.
So we are inviting you to submit a letter!
Dear philanthropist,
Embracing the spirit of giving is at the heart of our mission, and we believe in the power of collective generosity to make a positive impact on our community. Your Faithful Reader is pleased to announce that our production is now equipped to receive tax-exempt donations. This means that individuals and organizations can contribute to our cause with the added benefit of tax relief. Your support enables us to amplify our efforts in creating meaningful work, fostering a sense of unity, and uplifting those in need.

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.
