Praise for "Story Salon"
"Gemstones of narrative. Something new, funny,
astonishing."
-Los Angeles Daily News
"Tales tall, tragic, and tantalizing."
-Sunset Magazine
"Stories from all walks and talks of life. Tales of yore and
ones that make you scream for more-those that will delight with
insight while moving an audience from laughter to tears."
-Studio City Sun
"Story Salon" is Los Angeles's longest running storytelling
venue. What began as an alternative to stand-up clubs and
self-conscious performance spaces has been challenging performers
and audiences for more than a decade. Created in a North Hollywood
coffee house "Story Salon" now reaches the globe through
Podcasting, publishing, and recordings.
The rules of the "Story Salon" haven't changed since it started:
Five to seven minutes of original material performed by the author.
The result is a unique blend of observation, memoir and comment
that makes the "Salon" one of the most eclectic entertainment
experiences available. More than a dozen solo theater works have
been developed at "Story Salon, " as well as a CD of stories, and
several books.
"Live storytelling is a unique art form," says "Story Salon"
founder, writer/actor/comedian Beverly Mickins. "Words spoken aloud
paint pictures capable of evoking laughter and tears, the whole
range of emotion. People have been telling each other stories since
the first campfires, talking about the whole mix of things,
important and trivial, that go into making life. Storytelling is
one of the ways we figure out how to be human."
Collected here for the first time in "Big Book of Stories" are
more than forty original pieces first performed by their authors at
"Story Salon."
It's an omnibus of memories, rants, affirmations, and shaggy-dog
stories that once opened is impossible to shut.
