PORTLAND STORY THEATER

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 14, 2010

 

"Urban Tellers" features tellers who have gone through Portland Story Theater's personal narrative workshop series to learn how to discover, develop, craft, and deliver their stories. Performing right alongside them is PST regular, Ryan Wolf Stroud.

 

If you've been wanting to check out Portland Story Theater, now's your chance to come see what we do, on the cheap... sliding scale $5-$10.

 

This show features seven storytellers and seven short stories. The stories are personal, taken from the tellers' own lives and told without scripts or notes. Simple. Straightforward. Unadorned. No barriers. Very interactive. Human. Meaningful. Real.  

Here’s the lineup: Niko Moe, Clark Taylor, Tamara Owen, Joseph Boyd, Anet Ris-Kelman, Jan Kats, and Ry Stroud.

 

Portland Story Theater events promote community and collaboration. Every show includes refreshments, creating a festive atmosphere. Mature audiences only. Wine $5 and Beer $3 available for 21+ 

 

When you attend a PST show it's more than a theatrical performance, it is a community experience where you feel connected, like you're a part of something. And all you have to do is come to the show! 

Reservations are highly recommended as space is limited. Call 503-793-5484 or email  reservations@portlandstorytheater.com to save your seats. $5-$10 cash at the door.

Portland Story Theater was launched in 2004 to bring the urban community together for a unique performance experience, telling tales that stimulate the mind and rouse the heart. We are a grass-roots operation, building awareness and appreciation for narrative. In late 2009, we established ourselves as a not-for-profit business. PST uses a unique collaborative approach to produce shows where people perform stories drawn from real-life experiences. We also offer workshops and 1-on-1 coaching for people who want to learn how to tell stories. Portland Story Theater has been called "raw, revealing, vulnerable," by The Oregonian for our groundbreaking work that "keeps audiences entranced from start to finish."
