Welcome to a new season of The Narrators podcast! Today’s story comes from The Narrators co-host and founding member of Buntport Theater Company, Erin Rollman, who shares a story about body disconnect and an odd “work-related” task. This story was recorded live at Buntport Theater. The theme of the show was “Patterns.”
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.
Special thanks to Horse Girl for this episode’s outro music!
It’s our final show of the year. Join us for an evening of true stories on the theme “Ritual” at Buntport Theater on Wednesday, 18 December 2019 at 8:00pm. Doors open at 7:15pm.
