In “The Graduate,” hosted appropriately enough by Mrs. Robinson, storytellers shared their true, personal tales of graduation and education.
Triple D aficionado Bill Grella started the night of storytelling off with a tale about high school education.
Barbara Effron continued the high school theme with a story about a less than wonderful math teacher.
Richard Barr took us back to a more innocent time with his elementary school story.
Jessica Robinson rounded out the first half of the storytelling show at The Auld Shebeen, in Fairfax, VA, with a true, personal story about her college graduation.
The ever effervescent Geraldine Buckley kicked off the second half of storytelling by sharing some lovely poems she’d written to a teacher she’d crushed on.
In her story, Mattie Cohan found out the path she was on, wasn’t the right path for her.
Bill Burton brought us back to his early 70’s college groove.
Sandra Hull experienced the joy only an adult education can bring.
Turns out, maybe there is still hope for education in America. Or, at the very least, for stories about education. All these wonderful storytellers graduated to the Better Said Than Done stage, after all!
Sign up for our August 6 storytelling workshop to learn to love learning again – and maybe come up with a story or two about your classroom days.
And don’t miss our July 30th storytelling show – “Camp!” When talking about camping, life is definitely better in the telling.
