  STORIES WE CARY: 4 WOMEN for REAL  MAY 9TH – 17TH  8PM and 3PM

The imagined conversations, musings and dramatic encounters of four women comprise the second iteration of Jump-Start’s spring storytelling series.  4 WOMEN for REAL will be presented at Jump-Start Theater, 710 Fredericksburg Road, San Antonio, Texas 78201.  Evening performances are at 8:00pm on Saturday May 9, Friday May 15 and Saturday May 16.  Matinee performances are at 3:00pm on Sunday May 10 and Sunday May 17, 2026. Tickets are choose-what-you-pay: $0, $5,10, $15, $20 or $25 and are available at www.jump-start.org or https://dojour.us/e/80900.  For more information, call (210) 227-JUMP (5867).

Jump-Start company member Chuck Squier invited four artists to join him in creating a performance piece for STORIES WE CARRY. He says, “The idea for this show came to me when I realized how many of my friends tell great stories that I believe are stage-worthy!”  Over several months, the women developed their individual scenes through Chuck’s workshopping process of writing, discovery and inquiry. The title, 4 WOMEN for REAL, describes the artistic work of Kimberlyn Montford, Felice Garcia, Michele Brinkley and Linda Cuellar. 

4 WOMEN for REAL is produced and directed by Chuck with the assistance of Anna Harwin, musical accompaniment by Sarah Rocha, lighting design by Tyler Cozart and sound design by Sarah Tijerina.
