Talking Stick Launch Party

Fri 18 Mar, 2005, 8pm
Lower East Side

Talking Stick is a truth based story telling series in which all forms of live performance are encouraged: Comedy, poetry, music, oral and text oriented storytelling.

The emphasis of Talking Stick is to dig deep into the self, into that taboo territory in our culture, in order to provide the audience with a honest universal experience from life. The only requirement is that the story is absolutely the truth. As opposed to traditional storytelling, where exaggeration is encouraged, we prefer stories where the truth is revealed in a scaled back form.

The show is a monthly event with nine booked storytellers followed by an open mike in which each performer gets six minutes to tell their story. Each evening the entire event will be recorded for broadcast.

Hosts: Master Lee, Mr. Patrick, with this months guests: Selena Glenn, Jennifer DeMerritt, and Man.
