This evening I attended the Stoop Storytelling event at Everyman Theatre, and I just have to say that it was funnier than I had even imagined it would be. The theme of the evening - since the Everyman is currently doing Noises Off - was The Show Must Go On. So all 8 performers told a story about doing live theatre. Some were actors, and some were crew but all 8 were hysterically funny.
During intermission, the organizers chose 2 volunteers and gave them 3 minutes to tell their own stories. In instances like this, these volunteers are often not so great. However, the 2 gentlemen that told their stories, were as funny as the performers themselves. They could not have been better chosen for the evening.
All in all, I came away in awe of these performers, and a little jealous that they have the nerve to do something like this while I do not. Even if I could overcome the massive amount of stage fright I have, I wouldn't have a clever story to tell. Maybe I'll work on that piece of the puzzle first. That seems a lot easier than overcoming the fear of people in general...
