February 1, 2024, UtahPresents, the Resiliency Center and the Center for Health Ethics, Arts, and Humanities will present the sixth in the series of Healthcare Stories at Kingsbury Hall. This year’s theme will be “Promise.” Stories might address imagined futures, potential pathways, new opportunities, vows, commitments, and moments of growth, as well as journeys that took unexpected detours and relationships that changed.

We welcome storytellers from across our healthcare community, to include clinicians, patients, family members, staff, faculty, and students.

CALL FOR STORIES

We invite storytellers from across our healthcare community to submit a story pitch. Prospective storytellers include clinicians, patients, family members, staff, faculty, and students.

Story pitches of no more than 2 minutes long should be submitted in the form of audio, video, PDF, or word document to: Submission Form  

A story pitch is a short teaser of the main points of your story. The main story will be between 8-10 minutes long.

TENTATIVE DATES & EXPECTATIONS: 

• Monday, October 23, 2023: Story pitches due
• Monday, October 30, 2023: 6 Storytellers will be chosen from across the community

Between November and the show in February, storytellers will be expected to commit to a minimum of 4 hours of rehearsal and coaching, to be scheduled working with each storyteller’s availability. Additional time writing, revising, and rehearsing your story would be on your own time.
