Michael has worked in the theater and the performing arts for fifty years. As a teacher of young actors, he tries to help them find their authentic voices. He has always dreamed of great adventures, and creating great theater. But sometimes you have to let go of dreams and illusions to realize what is most important in your life.

Sometimes love is unexpectedly revealed in an ecstatic and intuitive moment. Sometimes it gets lost or forgotten in the distractions of our lives; but it is there, in us, always waiting to be recovered or reclaimed and to connect us to the world. Frank has lived in Oregon so long, he’s forgotten what it means to be a New Yorker. He retired from teaching at Mt. Angel Seminary five years ago.

Based on her rocky dating history, Donna would’ve never guessed that she’d someday have a relationship worth telling a story about. Donna is a writer and storyteller, a creator of stealth nature mandalas, and a recovering perfectionist. Lately she spends her time trying not to

spend her time freaking out about the news.

When she’s not recounting youthful follies to a roomful of strangers, Amanda hoards cats, swans about the house wearing a massive turban, and drinks bathtub gin in the daytime. Or something like that. Her story tonight delves into the absurdity of the human condition called love and the physical and emotional rigmarole of losing one’s virginity (twice). To summarize: hymen schymen.

There is no fate but what we make for ourselves. That might be all well and good, but what if we make for ourselves a real shit show? Warren tells a tale about his fate and what he made for himself. It's sad and dark and, at times, pitiful. Happy Valentines' Day!

Kate Raphael comes to storytelling with the belief that our greatest connections in life happen when we have the guts to share our truths. She finds that sharing her stories in public is the most challenging, scariest, and rewarding practice there is. Kate also seeks -- and finds -- heart-warming connections through travel, cooking, and making films through her film production company, Studio Kate. (studiokate.us)

Cynthia came to Portland Story Theater through their one-day Storytelling Bootcamp and she was hooked. Her story this evening is about her relationship with her father. Sometimes we want more from people than they are capable of giving and we need to decide if it is good enough.
