#AmericanPatchworkProject: 
WHEN: collected now through January 21, 2022
WHERE:
 
shared across Centenary Stage Company’s social media platforms as part of the #AmericanPatchworkProject.

Centenary Stage Company and American Patchwork Quartet are collecting heritage stories for the #AmericanPatchworkProject. 

This project will culminate with A Conversation with American Patchwork Quartet on January 22 at 3:00 pm with the American Patchwork Quartet sharing stories about their own heritage, their music, and their mission. 

For more information about how to share a story, go to centenarystageco.org and to make a reservation call Centenary Stage Company’s box office at (908) 979-0900.

There are no requirements as to what a heritage story is in order for it to be submitted. 

The story can be anything: 
  • an immigration story or that of parents / grandparents
  • a simple tracing of ancestral roots
  • a specific moment, experience, or story passed down or perhaps even a continued tradition that is part of an inherited sense of family identity. 

There are two (2) formats for submitting a heritage story
  • The first is a video submission of the story being told. Centenary Stage Company will have a station set up to record stories in the Lackland Center between 1:00 and 5:00 pm on January 5, 12, and 19, 2022 to help anyone who would like to record their heritage story.
  • The second is a written submission. Written stories can be submitted digitally or dropped off at the Centenary Stage Company box office between 1:00 and 5:00 pm starting January 3, 2022
