    Your next storyteller is Laura Bond. Laura has been telling stories at The Narrators since its inception in 2010 and it’s always a treat when she joins us. In this story, Laura talks about her move to Denver, her years as the music editor of Westword, Denver’s alt weekly newspaper, and her brief foray into waiting tables at the Satire Lounge on Colfax Avenue. Laura shared this story in front of a live audience at Buntport Theater in August 2019; the theme of the show was “Transplant.” 

    Special thanks to Mama Magnolia for this episode’s outro music.

    This Wednesday in Denver: “Bars”

    BUNTPORT THEATER, DENVER, 19 July 2017 at 8:00PM:

    Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name and they’re always glad you came. You wanna be where you can see that our troubles are all the same. You wanna go where people know that people are all the same. You wanna go where everybody knows your name.

    We get it. That’s why this month’s theme is “Bars.” Turn off those gymnastics reruns, grab a Hershey’s with Almonds, and get yourself to Buntport to hear true stories from this incredible lineup of storytellers:

    …and your host, Ron Doyle, probably eating a Klondike.

    The show is as free as the feeling when you hang upside-down by your knees on the monkey bars. Beer from Renegade Brewing Company and cheap wine available by donation.

    See you there!

  • This Wednesday in Denver: “Siblings”

    This Wednesday in Denver: “Siblings”

    BUNTPORT THEATER, DENVER, 16 DECEMBER 2015 at 8:00PM:

    When you were three years old, she stranded you on the coffee table for an hour because you really truly believed that the carpet was lava. You haven’t spoken to him for 6 months because he’s entered into a really disturbing racist-like-Morrisey phase. You shared a bed when you were little and still feel a little empty when they’re gone. Tonight, for our final show of 2015, we bring you stories about “Siblings.” The cast of storytellers:

    Laura Bond (Writer, Rolling Stone, Spin, Lighthouse Writers)
    Adam Cayton-Holland (Comedian, “Those Who Can’t”, The Grawlix)
    Steph Gustafson (Activist, retired nonprofit wizard)
    Chella Negro (Singer/songwriter, Chella & The Charm)
    Ellen Trachman (Attorney, Trachman Law Center)
    Emma Weisfeld (The Narrators, Audible/Rooftop Media)

    …and your host, Erin Rollman, the living embodiment of the imaginary sister we all daydreamed about. We’ll have beer, wine, and 2016 POSTERS (!) available for donation (CASH ONLY). See you there!
