From "21A, " the one-man show that launched a career and a whole
new perspective on riding the bus, to a sneak peek at the new
Minnesota Public Radio-sponsored "Gulliver Unraveled," On Stage
with Kevin Kling gives readers a behind-the-curtain view of one of
Minnesota's most popular storytellers.
This collectible volume contains the full text of three of Kevin
Kling's stage pieces--"21A," "Ice Fishing," and "Scarecrow on
Fire"--as well as excerpts from "Of Mirth and Mischief" and "Back
Home." Previously unpublished poems, short pieces, and a
conversation
between the Fitzgerald eater's Tony Bol and the writer provide a
window into Kling's creative and collaborative process.
Kevin Kling has been telling his o? -kilter stories with humor,
heart, and thoughtful philosophizing for over twenty years, and
this book brings readers right on stage with the master.
Kevin Kling, well-known playwright, storyteller, and author, has
been an artist in residence for the past three years at Minnesota
Public Radio's Fitzgerald eater. "Of Mirth and Mischief, ""Back
Home," and "Gulliver Unraveled," all featured in this volume, were
created in conjunction with this program.
Being an older brother has its benefits, of that there's little
doubt. But how would you feel if your little brother grew to be
bigger than you? And what if he insisted on touching all your
things and following you everywhere you went? It's enough to
frustrate the most even-keeled of children. The narrator of Big
Little Brother wants nothing more than to escape his brother's
sticky fingers. Then an encounter at the old Woman in the Shoe play
area teaches him that a pesky younger sibling can actually be a
pal. Maybe having a brother, big or small, is a blessing after all.
Storyteller Kevin Kling, described as "one of our great national
treasures" by public radio personality KristaTippett, has delighted
audiences through his performances, plays, and audio and printed
collections for decades. Illustrator Chris Monroe brings her witty,
slightly subversive artistic sense to this heart-warming tale. the
result is a playful, tender look at the familiar pains and joys of
being a sibling.
