WINTER
December Guild Show
7:30 pm Saturday, December 14th
The truth is the quality of being true, genuine, actual and factual.
A lie is an untrue statement with intent to deceive or mislead.
Join Maura Doherty, Anne Penfound, and Monty Mickelson as they sort out the truth from fiction, the lies from the tongue-in-cheek, exaggeration from the genuine facts in these diverse stories of growing up both mentally and physically over the years.
As you travel with them, share their pathway of stories, experience their challenges and humor, you may well have to sort out ‘the wood from the trees.’ The question is… Can you?
About the tellers:
Maura Doherty
Maura‘s life began with her Catholic grammar school’s motto, Veritas. Truth. Truth became her touchstone during nine years as a religious Sister and, later, as an activist. Along the way she fought the lies spread by industrial polluters. Truth won out. Her stories celebrate the heroes and everyday people who have helped her along the way.
Her memoir, She Blooms: Finding Home After the Convent, is available through White River Press at www.Bookshop.org and other outlets.
Anne Penfound
Anne Penfound enjoys presenting unique interpretations of original stories and multicultural tales to adult audiences with her quirky British humor and effervescent style.
She believes in telling the truth, but when it comes to a good yarn, all bets are off.
Anne says, “I enjoy telling an eclectic mix of tales. The magic of oral storytelling energizes me and brings joy to my soul.”
Monty Mickelson
Monty Mickelson is making his Storyteller’s Guild debut this evening on the Artichoke stage. He has been a professional writer (journalism, novels, screenwriting), a writing instructor, and a substitute teacher at local Catholic high schools. He is a past winner of a Moth Story Slam in Los Angeles, and has competed in Portland area Story Slams for several years.
