Abstract

This performance thesis focused on the personal narratives of single parent families. Through the power of storytelling this project sought to correct some common stereotypes about single parent families, connecting with listeners in a way that raises awareness of generational practices and stereotypes that have contributed to the negative narrative associated with the term single parent. The performance took place on April 9, 2019 and includes narratives selected from a variety of sources, as well as the personal experiences of the author.
