Greg decides to spice things up on a boring visit to his grandfather’s house

Your next storyteller is Greg Salvesen. With an anniversary coming up soon, we’re feeling a little nostalgic—so today we’re sharing this story from all the way back in 2013. Greg is an astronomer, ultra-marathon runner, and long-time favorite of the show who now lives and works in Los Alamos, New Mexico. He shared this story in front of a live audience at the Deer Pile in Denver, Colorado; the theme of the show was “The Fall.”

Your next storyteller is Karla Rodriguez. Karla’s story is a throwback to 2015, back in the days before social distancing, when we would snuggle up together at Buntport Theater. A lot has happened to Karla since then—she moved to NYC, got hitched, and became a proud mom of two—all while slaying dragons as a corporate social responsibility expert in the film industry—but her story feels like it could have happened yesterday. The theme of the show was “Take a Hike.”

Today we’ve got a story from our own Erin Rollman. Along with the other members of Buntport Theater Company—Sam, Eric, Brian, and Hannah—Erin has been making original live theater for more than two decades, and through her stories at The Narrators over the years, Erin has given a master’s level course on stagecraft to our audience, one true story at a time. Today we’re going to hear one of those stories.

Erin told this story in front of a live audience at Buntport Theater in October 2018; the theme of the evening was Ghosts.

Your next storyteller is Lucy Roucis. Lucy passed away this week, after a decades-long battle with Parkinson’s disease. Lucy might be best known by a broader audience for her appearance in the film Love & Other Drugs, but in Denver she’s been a force on and off stage for years, a wickedly funny and talented actor and comedian who will be deeply missed. Lucy told a couple of stories at The Narrators, but today we’re sharing her first—this story was recorded at Buntport Theater in November 2017; the theme of the night was “Under Your Skin.”

Your next storyteller is Adrian Holguin. Adrian is a high school math teacher with 29 years of experience in the classroom and an improviser with 30 years of experience making stuff up on stage, but he assured us that this story stuck to the rules and was totally true. Adrian shared this story in front of a socially distanced outdoor audience at EXDO Events Center—while wearing a mask, which you may notice—in August 2020. The theme of the show was “Curves.” 

Special thanks to The Milk Blossoms for today’s outro music.
