(Photo by Matt McLaren) FULL CAPTION Live storytelling has taught me that the line between hilarious & devastating is razor thin. If I am willing to reinhabit the true story I tell, the audience will come with me. And they will apply their own feelings to what is now a shared experience, which can elicit tears & raucous laughter in the same breath. That is magical.
Live storytelling has taught me that the line between hilarious & devastating is razor thin.

Deepest gratitude to James Gangl (jamesgangl.com) and Sweet Action Theatre (sweetaction.ca) for another incredible Page to Stage experience, as well as to my classmates for their incredible passion & considerable trust, and to our dear audience for sharing our moments of introspection & catharsis. This experience never ceases to be transformative. I start my story onstage at Sweet Action Theatre. (Photo by @appleofmyoddeye)
Storytelling is trying to focus a wildfire of memories, feelings & thoughts in the hope of both me & my audience discovering something meaningful.
