Produced and Hosted by Amy Salloway
Featured Storytellers: Gabriela Santiago and Basma Ibrahim DeVries
Story Club Minneapolis is starting its 6th year as Minneapolis's only live monthly storytelling show featuring both an open mic segment and a curated set of performers from all over the Twin Cities arts scene (and beyond). The Story Club stage showcases autobiographical stories -- especially those that are bold, vulnerable, unexpected, and connected to the complexity of our cultural environment... and especially voices that audiences might not get to hear in other contexts. No two Story Club evenings are ever alike, but each month when we wrap up the show, we feel like we've witnessed a new, unique little community coming together.
So! Starting at 6pm, audience members are invited to put their names in the jar for the opportunity to tell an up-to-7-minute story onstage. When the show begins, four tellers are drawn at random to perform, and they'll be followed by our featured guests. Does this make you want to tell a story? GOOD! (Do it! Do it! Do it!)
Story Club's host and producer is Amy Salloway! Amy's been an actor, writer, storyteller, podcast contributor and teaching artist in the Twin Cities for about 18 years this time around (yes, there were previous times around). You can find out more about her at http://www.amysalloway.com.
