Dear Friend of PST,
We've just returned from the trip of a lifetime to the Ernest Shackleton Autumn School in Athy, Ireland, Shackleton's hometown. Now that we're home, we want to invite you to join us on November 8 for some of Portland's most stunning storytelling with an evening of Urban Tellers over at the Alberta Abbey. On November 15, we'll be in Hood River with our first group of Urban Tellers who live in the Gorge. Then on November 22, Lynne Duddy will perform with our good friend, Shay Knorr, as part of the Solo Speak Sessions over in Bend. Exciting times at Portland Story Theater and you're making it happen! We want to keep the momentum going. Come to a show. Bring your friends. We can't wait to see you!

Urban Tellers at the Abbey
Saturday, November 8  Reinvention. Change means reinvention. Each time a major shift happens in our lives we have to grab a hold of who we will become or risk never reaching our full potential. Striking at the heart of personal transformation, from moving to a new city to witnessing the aftermath of destruction, these stories touch on the essential value of who we are and what really matters. Urban Tellers, profoundly personal and quietly addictive. Do yourself a favor and join us for an evening of personal stories that will transform you.
