Stoop Storytellers are Good Sports



The Stoop Storytellers are coming around to Centerstage again! The Storyteller shows consist of seven performers each get seven minutes to tell their individual story pertaining to the theme. The upcoming theme is "Good Sport: Stories about winning, losing, and everything in between."

I'm really looking forward to this event because these are true stories that the offical website describes as "no notes, no scripts, no actors--just true stories, artfully told."

My expectation is that these will be funny, heartfelt and warm, similar to a David Sedaris story. I think some of my classmates from literary journalism had some stories that might work in upcoming Stoop Storytelling events.



The website mentions that every show features a few audience members who can tell their own stories for three minutes. The group always welcomes new members and themes.

The "Good Sport" show will be at Centerstage on June 1 with a cocktail reception and live music before hand, if you're interested. Tickets go quick, so get them soon!
