Lifelong Learning: Storytelling: True Stories Told Live

When Karen Stein moved from Chicago to Traverse City she brought her passion for live stage storytelling. Here:Say was born of this passion and Karen helps a diversity of performers prepare personal accounts from their own lives. Spoken not read, prepared but not memorized, the stories are from the heart of the individual storyteller. Karen Stein will share her own experience and process for producing the once a month Here:Say event. Discussion, questions and sharing will follow. Whether telling a story on stage or to children or grandchildren, giving a toast or a eulogy or interviewing for a job, telling a personal story connects the audience in a valuable shared experience.
