Solo Productions

Solo Production is a small business which produces and presents one woman live theatrical acts. All presentations are portrayed by NAN COLTON and are original scripts designed specificially for the entertainment and education of the assembled audience.

All first person historical characterization programs:
— relate the past, and relate to the past in a way that personalizes and humanizes it
— promote empathy and deeper understanding of historical eras and figures
— are thought-provoking and educational, rather than purely entertaining
— promote thoughtful audience participation and further inquiry
— all presentations are acted in authentic clothing, settings, and props
— all scripts are research-based first person historical reenactments that strive to incorporate the character’s worldview and historical mindset. A worldview includes the intellectual, moral, spiritual, and perceptual context of the historical character and her world.

A series of non-fictional characters is also available – and – as a professional storyteller Nan tells a wide variety of short stories, fables and myths from around the world.

• Each presentation has the option of a preshow slide show which sets both the mood and the period of the piece.
• Each presentation has the option at the close of the show for an interactive talk back question and answer period between the audience and the presenter.
• Each presentation has a handbill for duplication and distribution to the audience. A special promotional package for marketing purposes is designed for each presenter that includes images, posters and photographs.
