Story Performances
STORY PERFORMANCES
So you’re thinking of an assembly or program… what do you have in mind? A laugh fest? A gentle nudge to think more deeply? A masterful handling of a difficult social issue? You can get an idea from all of my CDs, DVDs and books that I have hours and hours of story material. Your tailor-made presentation (30-90 minutes) can be any combination of my recorded stories or stories never heard before. I can tell funny coming-of-age stories, give tribute to immigrants and elders or inspire your audience with examples of people who have taken a stand for others and made a difference in our world. Remember there are programs for every age level.
In addition, some examples of longer programs (full evening concerts, for example) include:
DIVIDING LINES:
The Education of a Chicago White Girl in Ten Rounds
A 90-minute, one-woman show that deals with housing discrimination past and present.
MORE ALIKE THAN NOT: STORIES OF THREE AMERICANS – CATHOLIC, JEWISH AND MUSLIM
This presentation can be a 50-90 minute three or two person show (Christian/Muslim).
MOTHERS AND OTHER WILD WOMEN
Three funny ladies entertain with personal stories and folktales.
TRIBES & BRIDGES
A two-hour show where Cuban, Irish and African American tellers share moments from their varied backgrounds.
JUSTSTORIES FESTIVALS
For seven years, I have co-produced the JustStories Storytelling Festival with Angels Studio, SVD/Chicago. JustStories brings together storytellers of varying cultures to perform stories with social justice themes. I can assemble a group of performers for you as well for a concert or a full day festival.
