As part of their Omaha video marketing strategy, Anastasis had us produce a short behind the scenes of their new Omaha theatre production. I’m so glad they did! This the third time we have created video content for their powerful plays. The first play, ‘On the Brink’, gave a touching and heartbreaking look at homelessness. Next, was ‘More than a Number’, giving voice to men that have been incarcerated in the prison system. Now, this omaha video marketing tool was to promote the play, By a Thread, powerful stories of the women that have been incarcerated in the prison system.
They are amazing pieces of theatre because it mixes people of the community, in this case, woman who have been in prison, and professional actors. So interesting.
This is from the Anastasis website:
‘We believe that story is an essential part of the human experience. The stories we tell as a culture impact how we understand ourselves and others. Those who tell the stories of our community have the power to shape our knowledge of the past, our current reality and what is possible in the future. We are left wondering, who is telling our story, and whose voices still need to be heard.
Anastasis Theatre Co. is committed to giving new voices a platform to share their stories and shift the narrative that directs our community. We hope to connect underserved communities with the transformative power of storytelling and theatre. When we give new voices the opportunity to be heard we change what is possible for individuals and the community.’
So looking forward to filming again for the Anastasis Theatre which is really theatre at its best; thoughtful, artistic and engaging. We are still talking about their plays years later!
