Voices from the Harbor – Giving Voice to Experience @ Driftwood Players Theater
Mar 18 @ 2:00 pm
Voices from the Harbor - Giving Voice to Experience @ Driftwood Players Theater  | Aberdeen | Washington | United States

Listen to selections from oral histories gathered by Harbor area students come to life through readings and narrator panels. Through these voices we will explore what draws us to this place, what helps us persevere during times of struggle, and what cultivates our sense of belonging to the area known as “The Harbor.”

Voices from the Harbor is an event series produced with funding from Humanities Washington. This is the first in a series of three events.

Mar 18 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm

The public is invited to join local historians and students from the Evergreen State College as they share selections from oral histories collected by and from Harbor residents. Participants will learn about the craft of composing oral histories as they listen to stories about the Harbor Region from the perspective of local residents.

Giving Voice to Experience is the first of three events planned for the Voices of the Harbor project – produced through a collaboration between the Evergreen State College and Window Seat Media; with support from Humanities Washington.
