Ever been pick-pocketed? It feels awful to be on the receiving end, but those who do it, treat it more like an art form than a crime. Sherman “O.T.” Powell spent forty years as a pickpocket, and, in our interview, he shares his stories from the dark side. Today, he is a reformed pick pocketer and a graduate of the MothSHOP Community Education Program. He has told several stories at The Moth and toured with the phenomenal story telling program. Our interview was taped live at Joe's Pub at The Public Theater.
Our next live taping is Thursday, March 19th at 9:30 pm at Joe's Pub. If you are in New York, please come (unless you are a pickpocket). www.employeeofthemonthshow.com
