Serving a Story

Join us on opening night for a special Behind the Scenes conversation following Carla Hall: Please Underestimate Me. This engaging discussion will feature storyteller & Founder of Story District Amy Saidman, director Lili-Anne Brown, and Hallie Gordon, Associate Artistic Director of Olney Theatre Center, as they explore the journey of bringing Carla’s story to life—from its earliest inspiration to its evolution on stage.

Part of our ongoing tradition to deepen the audience experience, this conversation delves into the “why” behind the production, highlighting themes of resilience, identity, and storytelling that resonate within our community. Blending the worlds of food, performance, and personal narrative, it offers a unique opportunity to experience the heart of the show beyond the spotlight.
