In January, 2014, the Gold Medal of storytelling was awarded to Better Said Than Done storytellers. Yep, to all of them, or, at least, all the ones who participated in “Carrying the Torch: stories of going for the gold!”
Our first storytelling show of the year was at The Auld Shebeen in Fairfax, VA. It was a packed audience, a great lineup, and a fantastic night for kicking off a new year of storytelling. If you weren’t there, or just want to relive the glory, here’s a little recap.
Jessica Piscitelli Robinson hosted, and started the storytelling with a little tale of competitive mommying, otherwise called “the joys of breastfeeding.” Ann Cavazos regaled us with triathlon tricks and tips.
Barbara Effron learn to love to swim. Pierce McManus brought down the house with his story of trying to get to the 2012 Boston Marathon.
After a quick break for some refreshments, Geraldine Buckley transported us across the pond with a tale of trying to make it to BBC. Mattie Cohan clued us in to the world of competitive fencing.
Richard Barr talked about aspirations of a US representative in Africa. Victoria Rocha got roped into a pie eating contest. Kathy Baird ended the night with a little tale of competing for her boyfriend’s attention.
Storytelling is true and personal. When you give a diverse group of storytellers a theme, you never know how that theme is going to be interpreted.
Our next show is called “When I Grow Up.” Come to the Auld Shebeen on February 22nd to see how the storytellers turn that into a night of true, personal stories.
