Hi Lawrence,

Thanks, Lynne. My apologies for not getting back to you before now but my time is constrained and I'm not on this site much. If you wouldn't mind letting your friends know about Portland Story Theater (http://www.portlandstorytheater.com) they can...

- About Me:
- I am originally from New York and have been a storyteller most of my life. Around the age of 10, I learned to tell the Yukon ballads of Robert W. Service; I still do. I tell solo, and also as half of the tandem team Storyharmonics, with my wife and partner, Lynne Duddy. I especially like to tell to adult audiences. I love folktales but I also love to tell personal stories. This winter I did my first-ever historical story, creating and telling a two-and-a-half-hour program about the great British Antarctic explorer, Ernest Shackleton. It's a story that holds a special significance because my father and I shared a lifelong interest in the Shackleton saga. I called it Shackleton's Antarctic Nightmare, and it was so well-received that I am now planning to develop an entire series of adventure stories about Antarctica and the Heroic Age of Exploration around the turn of the last century.

Sorry for the late response.
I'm having trouble keeping up with correspondence, what with e-mails, this site, etc.
I don't have plans to bring "A Beautiful Game" to Portland, Oregon as of yet, but one never knows.
Hope all's well with you,
My best to Lynne also.
Michael

Historical stories are the centrepiece of the Kootenay Storytelling Festival, my passion over the last nine years. We're sitting out for a year this time but will return. Telling stories is a great way of "delivering" history.

Alton Takiyama-Chung said… - Hey, Lawrence, Lessee, just finished my taxes, getting ready to teach a workshop, and trying to stay afloat at my Day Job. Lots of new initiatives and projects which are consuming vast quantities of my energy and sleep time. Sigh. How's about you? How is the show going? I hope things are going well.

- Hi, Lawrence,
Thanks for your message.
Have not told any of those stories, since I just opened a new show about my long-time connection to ice hockey, called "A Beautiful Game," and am trying to promote that. Am also writing another one tentatively titled "The Goofy Show." So, Tante Odette will have to wait. Glad your Shackleton show went so well.
By the way, I can barely keep up with e-mails, so it's unlikely I'll be a constant participant here.
I wish you the best,
Michael

Rachel Hedman said… - Dear Lawrence:
Welcome to the "College Big Cats: Tracking and Capturing Gigs" group, especially as your tandem partner, Lynne Duddy, was already with us.
Perhaps we can expect a tandem discussion from you?
You may have noticed the e-Course there on basic marketing for college venues.
Until we tell again,
Rachel Hedman
