"This is s great idea, but there has not been any link made to local government. I would think the most successful similar such organisations/movements are well linked with city officials. I find that details are missing, and it is unclear how it will create the impact they seek. To start from very humble beginnings it may or may not succeed. I think some catalytic steps are missing - the how."
"I love storytelling, and appreciate it as a mechanism for engaging community members. Restoration Theatre work at Univ of Southern California is a good example. However, I don't believe this proposal is aggressive enough in reaching out and connecting with communities of need. It proposed only modest growth over 5 years, so the impact seems small. More persuasive to me would be to have the group dive into a community of need and draw out their stories. Create a process. Since this is a local group, the Boston Marathon bombing would be a place to start. As presented, the proposal seems more about these two storytellers, and not the potential storytelling of the communities they would like to serve."
