Today’s Two on Tuesday stories were performed live as part of our “Dark Woods” show.

Were you ever told you had an over-active imagination?  When you have an older sibling who loves to tease, it can be a tricky business. Chris Gebauer writes about the joys and terrors of childhood in “The Wolfman Cometh” read for us here by Amanda Sisk.

What do we owe to our family? To the land we come from? Amanda Sisk ponders what stays with us when we move away, and what calls us back.  Switching it up, here’s Amanda’s story “Unloaded” performed by Chris Gebauer.

 

These stories were originally performed at Jimmy’s no 43 on February 18th, 2015. Here are the switched-up storytellers bios from that evening:

Chris Gebauer is thrilled to be a part of No, You Tell It! He is a usually working actor and a recent graduate of NYU-TISCH. He has just gotten into storytelling (and really loves it). Chris most recently worked in Drunk Shakespeare and before that Puppet Titus Andronicus. You can also find his narration work on Audible.com. What really matters though is that he’s really excited to be here.

Amanda Sisk likes to consider herself the President of the United States. With her partner Noah Diamond, she has co-written and directed several political musicals for their theatre company Nero Fiddled. When she is not writing or yelling at political pundits on television, she can be found yelling at football players on television. Sisk enjoys running, yoga, karaoke, and seeing her name written on things. Mugs, tanks, and tees with “SISK” on them are available for a nominal fee. She thanks the gang at No, YOU Tell It! for their patience, guidance, humor, and this wonderful opportunity.

Dark Woods is Approaching!

Our next switched-up storytelling show, Dark Woods, is fast approaching.

We reached out to artist Nikka Valken and asked her to create an image inspired by our theme. As you can see, the result is captivating and darkly delightful . Asked about her inspiration, here’s what she had to say:

When I think of the theme, Dark Woods, my mind goes straight to fairy tales, and of being a kid exploring the woods of my hometown. When I was young and small, I imagined whole worlds of even smaller people in every shrub and bramble bush. I pictured them going on exciting, vast journeys that could still happen within the span of my back yard. This mouse rider is off on just that sort of important, tiny adventure.

Join us next week for our first official No, YOU Tell It! of 2015. Click here for details and to RSVP.
