Odyssey Storytelling in Tucson Thursday, March 2nd- 7:00 pm The Screening Room, 127 E. Congress Street , Tucson
This curated Storytelling event in Tucson is in its 13th year! Six people are invited to tell ten minute, personal stories on a theme in front of an audience. The stories are not read or memorized, they are told from the life experiences and creativity of the teller
Theme: Left
Sometimes “Left” is not right. Sometimes it is. “Left” may also imply loss or abandonment. When one leaves, something is almost always left behind. But sometimes “left” is the strength to leave a situation and seek greener pastures in the face of uncertainty. Join us as six story tellers brave the Odyssey Stage to share their stories of loss, recovery, and discovery in the “Left” show on March 2nd.
Storytellers include Angela Orlando, Karen Hollish, Aly Cruz, Pamela Campbell and more!

Are things as they always appear? If something is something, can it be another something? Do my eyes deceive me? Does the first bite give you the whole taste? Can “they” bring you down or can you rise above? Using world folktales, fables and a smattering of personal stories, our team of local and world-class storytellers gives you something to think about this World Storytelling Day, all with Spring just around the corner. Discussion with Q&A follows.

All I Have Are Stories...I Know It Is Not Enough - Donna Washington Donna Washington's new blog post is a MUST read for all storytellers! She speaks to and for all of us. It is a brilliant piece, and so unfortunate that the ones who need to read it the most will never see it, or if by some strange happenstance they do, they will not be moved to alternative action, and that is the tragedy of our times.
