When you tell a story, especially when that story is about a real person or event, you’re in an incredible position of power -- to interpret that story and share it beyond yourself. Of course, with that power comes an immense responsibility, to both the subject of the story and the time and place you’re telling the story. In Sammi Cannold’s talk, she shares how her experience researching a new production of Evita and a conversation with Eva Perón’s nurse and confidant taught her to feel the weight of a storyteller’s responsibility.
