  • This Thursday! The Narrators on “The Fall”

    Well, the leaves are off of the trees and the all of the plants have gone into senescence, but The Narrators are as vibrant and full of life as ever (I feel like I just wrote a Garrison Keillor intro to Tales from Lake Wobegon).  But I digress.  Our November show is full of great storytellers who will give us their spins on “The Fall.”  Here’s the lineup:

    Jessica Thompson – writer
    Greg Salvesen – economics scholar, marathon runner
    Evan Duggan – comedian
    Brandi Shigley – dreamer, doer, musician, fashionista
    Mark Sonnenblick – musican, actor
    Brian Collona – member of Buntport Theater
    Rachael Pollard – musician
    Haley Driscoll -comedian, veteran improviser

    Of course, your hosts Robert Rutherford and Andrew Orvedahl will be on hand to provide pumpkin spice body odor and swap green bean casserole recipes.

    8pm at the Deer Pile (above City O’ City).  See you there!

  • 30: Two Sides to Every Story Part 2

    30: Two Sides to Every Story Part 2

    The theme for our October show, “Two Sides to Every Story”, provided an opportunity for a little bit of experimentation.  We thought it might be fun to explore the nature of truth in true storytelling by looking at an age old adage, that there are two sides to every story. We invited pairs of storytellers to tell their versions of a shared experience or story. We were hoping to dig into what makes a story a story, what we can learn by looking in between the gaps, etc.  We sequestered the storytellers while their counterparts were telling their version, so that what the audience got was free from influence.  It was pretty danged cool. Part 2 of the show features true stories from scholar/activist Mary Robertson and Narrators co-host Robert Rutherford. These stories were recorded at The Deer Pile on October 17th, 2013 by our good friends at The Denver Diatribe.

    The intro and outro music was produced and graciously provided by Sans Seruf, and you can find more slick beats for your earholes over at his bandcamp page.

    Our next show is coming up on November 21st and the theme will be “The Fall.”

    AND!!!  The Narrators is working with the Denver Music Summit on a Very Special Episode that will take place on Saturday, November 23rd at the McNichols Building in Denver featuring musicians from near and far telling Stories from the Road.  More information on the lineup and tickets can be found here.

    ALSO!!! The Narrators are working with Off-Center at the Jones Theater on a show called Lived/Re-lived that will go into full production in March 2014.  Even though that is waaaaayyyy into the future, tickets are now on sale. Snatch ’em up.
