Stage Left Studio
presents
KING-LAUBACH STORY HOUR
These STORY HOURs by Stage Left let anyone who qualifies
entertain an actual paying audience with their memorable moment of happiness,
disappointment, success, amazement, or anything in-between.
At the latest
performance, five people told their tales. One lady recounted her hair-dye
nightmare, which of course occurred just days before the Family Event of the
Year. A gentleman recalled the emotionally tragic day (for a young teen) when he
realizes that Halloween will never be the same.
The third story-teller
read her conjugation of “Stuck-a-tude”, done in a free-verse form, poetic yet
perfectly understandable. The fourth speaker recalled how she mastered, or
pretended to master, Spanish at her Catholic boarding school. Many years later,
that knowledge literally saved her life. The last man told of his wanderings
from Texas to Tasmania, where he learned that JFK had been assassinated.
Cheryl King, playwright, director, and actor, created and
manages Stage Left Studio. Susan Laubach, actor, playwright,
author, has appeared off-off Broadway, in films, and on TV. Together they
created the story-hour concept as a way for you to tell your story, if you’re
interested. Each storyteller is limited to ten minutes. The story must have a
beginning, middle, and end. That’s it. It just has to be a story. You can read
it from your notes. No memorization required. And the studio is small enough to
be intimate, not intimidating. No make-up or microphone required.
They
advise that you write out your story first, so that you can make sure your
thoughts are organized and that the story meets the ten-minute time limit.
Anyone wishing to participate should contact Cheryl King at
www.StageLeftStudio.net to discuss the details.
The whole hour is cozy,
and after the show, the audience joins the presenters for a small reception with
beverages and snacks.
Currently there is no locked-in schedule for the
story hour. The next one will be held on Sunday, September 9, 2014, at 5 p.m.
Plenty of time to for you to prepare, if you dare.
