Bloom Stage proudly announces the next show in its 2025 series, “Secrets & Whispers.” In regular collaboration with Poetry in the Boro, this show includes co-production with Carson Elliott Kreidler.
This show is built around the secrets we’ve held or created, the whispers exchanged beside the holiday punch bowl, and the quiet truths we have not yet allowed ourselves to believe.
Through poetry, story, music, and performance, “Secrets & Whispers” beckons us to reflect on what we might release and what we wish to welcome into our lives. It’s an invitation to both confession and dreaming, to exploring the hidden and the hopeful alike.
