Last Saturday night’s live storytelling show was all about the stories that have changed our lives – whether they were in books, movies, or songs.
Susan Gordon started off the night with an excerpt from her one woman show, “Dancing Down Darkness,” about her daughter Liz’s love of music and dancing. Mel Pine took us to the movies with his personal journey via “Little Big Man.” Jessica Piscitelli Robinson took a different approach to “The Princess Bride,” the book, by William Goldman.
Renata Lana admits “Titanic” might be cheesy, but it played an integral role in the relationship she was in at the time. Jeremy Strozer shared how his love of the Time Life Series on WWII set him on his career path. Anna Marie Trester had a love hate relationship with “My Fair Lady.” And Jason Conner brought the night to a close with the media that formed his idea of what his Mormon mission would be like.
If you missed the show, you missed a great night of true, personal stories from some of Virginia’s best storytellers. That’s okay, we’ll be back next month.
