Our March show at The Auld Shebeen was called “Hit the Road Jack: stories about leaving, travel and return.” And, of course, our two Jacks had to get in on the action. Poor, poor, Jacks. We don’t want you to hit the road! We like your true, personal stories!
In addition to the two Jacks, the spoken word storytelling show was hosted by burlesque artist/storyteller Dustin Fisher.
Not only did Dustin host the show and share his own, personal story, he also had more wardrobe changes than a Cher concert. And fortunately for all of us, there were no wardrobe malfunctions!
Our first non stripping storyteller of the night, AND our first Jack, was Jack Pelar, who shared a tale of adventure on the high roads of Bosnia.
Elinor Klein’s story also involved a rather horrifying road trip, and not only because of the road conditions!
Richard Barr switched things up and took us along on a train ride from Lithuania to Estonia.
The second but not least Jack, Jack Scheer, explained why “Hit the Road, Jack” is his least favorite song.
Jessica Robinson’s story was one of romance and mystery along the Romantic Road.
We then listened to Joff Infante explain how he had a bit of trouble getting someone to hit the road, despite police intervention.
And Cyndi Wish left us wanting more with her story of leaving a marriage to go surf!
It was a great night out, a fantastic storytelling show, the kind of event no one wanted to leave. Alas, all good things must end. So too, with “Hit the Road, Jack.”
The good news is, not only will Better Said Than Done be back at The Auld Shebeen in Fairfax, VA on Saturday, April 28th, but so will BOTH our Jacks. Join us for “Getting Busy.” Put those hard earned dollars to work and save some money by purchasing tickets in advance.
We promise, you won’t want to hit the road after that show either!
