BE THE CHANGE is a family-friendly event that brings to life over a dozen letters written by young people to their heroes throughout history, the responses they received, and their powerful impact on society. Among the many letters in this program, Stan Lee makes good on a decades-old promise, a 9-year-old hoopster consults with NBA superstar Steph Curry on his shoe empire, a teenaged Tom Hanks tries to get “discovered”, and an 11-year-old girl tells Abraham Lincoln to grow a beard.
This inspiring program is a powerful reminder that writing one single letter can truly change the world.
ABOUT LETTERS ALOUD
Real letters, by real people, read by professional actors. Since 2014, we have traveled the country sharing intimate letters written by individuals who have left their mark on history. With a power to evoke both laughter and deep emotion, these letters serve as a testament to humanity’s extraordinary ability to unearth hope, purpose, and happiness amidst life’s many challenges. With live musical accompaniment and a dynamic slideshow, a Letters Aloud evening is guaranteed to inspire! (As one fan said, “It’s a modern-day ‘A prairie Home Companion’ – but with letters.”)
