Who We Are
We come together in the Gloam Keeper’s Room to ask questions, solve puzzles, and support each other’s strengths and weaknesses through telling and building stories.
What We Do
Why We Do It
Old stories carry old wisdom. In a noisy world, we create a structured place to practice virtues like courage, honesty, self-control, and kindness by diving into stories that ask us to become more than we are.
Keeper’s Apprentice.
Professional 5:1 Ratio: Strictly capped at 10 children per cohort to ensure every child is known and guided.
Reflections: Each meeting introduces a "Reflection" (a classical virtue) to explore through that week’s folk tale and the evolving story of The Gloam.
Agency: Each cohort reveals more of who they are as individuals and as a group through the choices they make and the puzzles they solve.
how it works
Created and led by Angela Masi—director, theater educator and mother of five. The Gloam is intentionally small, structured, and focused on craft, character, and wonder.
