[STAGE] Remember once upon a time, before we became glued to TV and DVDs and X box, when we used to just circle around The Storyteller, who had the uncanny ability to stir up your imagination through mere words? No, I hardly do either. But there's something to be said for this kind of timeless entertainment. What better occasion to celebrate old-school tradition than Halloween?! This weekend will bring together five masterful storytellers to titillate the audience with spooky tales and good old Talk Story. I was thinking of joining the line-up, seeing as I have about 15 years of Halloween ghost-story narrative experience under my belt. My family hosted an annual Halloween party when, on one crisp October night, we would gather around a campfire in the woods with a bunch of friends, make s'mores and try to out-petrify one another. Apparently there were adult nuances involved in some tales which went right over my head, as to expect in this session (e.g., Why don't skeletons have sex? Because they have hallow weenies!). My dad was really on it, enlisting neighbors to dress up as witches and rigging model ghosts up in the trees to move. We would reach ultra-high levels of fear, exhilaration and fun. Plus it was always eye-opening to see what a self-powered blast we could have without any electronics. Just our lovely personalities—and the marshmallows didn't hurt. Come and remember how much we can enthrall and spooooook each other in person! Tickets: $12 adults, 16 and over, $5 kids 7-13 (NOT suitable for children under age 7). [MOLLY RETTIG]
