last night, i got to participate in the coolest event. new friends tara (who is from lexington, ky!) and james were inspired by a series in baltimore called stoop. they loved it enough to bring it to anchorage, as arctic entries. here's the official lowdown:
"In the manner of This American Life and other urban storytelling events, Arctic Entries brings community members, known and unknown, to the stage to share a personal story. 7 people will tell a 7-minute story relating to this show’s theme, “first times”. Singer/songwriter Amy Lou performs original music."
next month's theme is "food chronicles," and will be at the same place, same time. march 27, cyrano's playhouse, 9pm.
p.s. i was totally heartened and inspired by the evening and then stayed up half the night reading the beginning of rachel naomi remen's kitchen table wisdom, which beautifully speaks of the power of storytelling. i highly recommend!
