"I hope this isn't T.M.I. but..." How many times have we all been on either end of a conversation that began that way? For some reason, sharing TMI – “Too Much Information” – tends to be a guilty pleasure for both divulger and divulgee. On both ends, there’s something incredibly cathartic and connective about revealing our deepest and darkest. We at the TMI Project are inclined to believe it’s actually good for us all, so no reason to feel guilty. That’s the philosophy behind TMI™, our production of non-fiction monologues written by the women who perform them.

The personal is universal, and by sharing the parts of stories many of us typically leave out for public consumption, our writers/performers help to reveal common threads in all our lives. The secret parts are the ones we most long to share and hear. In telling and hearing them, we get connected. In our experience, storyteller and viewer alike leave the show with a new understanding of their experiences, and a new openness. We’ve heard on many occasions that audience members share juicy morsels in car rides home that they never would have discussed otherwise.

Now as we expand we need you to partner with us. We need funds to hit the ground running. Money raised will be our seed money. We are starting from scratch. We need space to work and teach, we need to complete our media materials, to become a non-profit, to expand programming to teens and women in need, and the incarcerated, to go on tour and create scholarships so we can reach people who do not have access to the privilege of writing workshops, theater and therapy.

Please, help us achieve our mission to enrich and transform individuals and communities alike, by fostering the creative expression, development and performance of true stories.
