Full TMI Project Performances

TMI Project is changing the world, one story at a time, by crafting and amplifying true stories that set us free. In our workshops, we guide people who don’t often have the chance to tell their stories and be heard. In our live performances and digital content, everyday unsung heroes do more than entertain. They boldly share their “TMI ” experiences to replace shame with freedom. As they step out of isolation, and into connection with those who listen, apathy turns to empathy and inspires people to take action.

-TMI Project Mission Statement

Raine has helped produce a number of full length true storytelling performances through his "day job" at TMI Project. He has worked as a workshop leader, story editor, and show host on the collections Stories for Choice (2022, 2023), Period Power! Stories, and Stories for Freedom (2024), and has helped produce showcases such as Voices in Action (2023), and the upcoming Black Voices, Poughkeepsie Roots, and Stories for Freedom.

Below is an example of TMI Project show that Raine co-hosted, directed, and co-produced. He also led the storytellers through a 10-week storytelling workshop alongside the accomplished Dara Lurie.

Period Power! Stories
2023

On December 6th, 2023, TMI project presented Period Power Stories - a true storytelling performance by Kingston High School students and members of the Period Power! Club. Period Power Stories was a culmination of a 10-session TMI Project storytelling workshops in which students crafted personal narratives to destigmatize menstruation, raise awareness of period poverty, and inspire action to ensure free menstrual products available to all students who need them. This performance was presented at The Senate Garage in Kingston, NY.
