this spring to tell us their personal stories on the topic of <i><b>Leaving Home</b></i>. These stories will then be used as inspiration for a new, original theatrical production to be performed by the SRJC Theatre Department in the fall.</font></span></p>

<span style="font-family:Calibri"><font size="3"><i><b>Leaving Home</b></i> will be a dramatic exploration of the concept of “home” and what it means to “leave home,” both literally and metaphorically, brought to life through stories drawn from interviews with
actual SRJC students. With this in mind, we</font></span><span style="font-size:medium; font-family:Calibri"> are looking for students with many types of stories. </span><i style="font-family:Calibri"><font size="3">(An initial thematic list of ideas is
attached, but this is just a starting point.) </font></i><span style="font-size:medium; font-family:Calibri">We are casting our net wide, hoping to find students who feel a call to share their stories with others.</span></p>

<font size="3"><span style="font-family:Calibri">While we will be filming our interviews, we understand that we are asking for stories with potentially sensitive subject matter that may require a certain level of confidentiality. Each interviewed student will
be able to </span><b><span style="font-family:Calibri">specify the level of confidentiality with which they want us to handle their story, interview, and privacy</span></b><span style="font-family:Calibri">.</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><font face="Calibri" size="3">If you know any students who may be interested, or who you think might have a compelling story to share, please let them know about our project and send them our way. To aid
in this process, I’ve attached an “invitation” that provides the student with a description of the project and how to contact us. We hope to start interviews after Spring Break so are asking for students to contact us by<b> April 1,
</b>if possible.</font></p>
