Last week found us with more stories than we could shake a stick at. On Monday we gathered for the AZ Rep Live Storytelling with stories from the dinner table, and one story of the dinner table on fire! Megan Finnerty, Nightlife Editor for the Republic does a great job of offering fresh, new venues for our local tellers and celebrities to share their tales. Don't miss the last one of this year on December 21st. The theme is Crazy Christmases, Weird Winter Wonderlands and Harried Hanukkahs: Stories of the Holidays at the Arizona Biltmore.
