| Alan White, hosts "fire" at Waterfront park |
"fire" mouthoff on July 17th, 2011
by Andrea Lovett
On a warm night in Columbus Park, thirty delighted listeners and ten
tellers were the ingredients in a recipe for a successful
mouthoff . This the second in a
series of
mouthoffs in Boston this summer. Our host for the
evening was massmouth member,
Alan White. Alan is both an actor and storyteller who performs throughout New England, telling historical tales of ghastly deeds
and high piracy along the Freedom Trail in Boston. He also tours his new
storytelling show "Around the World in Folk and Fairy Tales." On Sunday, Alan
entertained the audience with his delightful stories and his wry sense of
humor.
We listened to tellers from as far away as Kentucky and as close by as the
neighborhoods of Boston. The theme for the evening was "fire" in keeping
with our 4 elemental themes. We kicked off our
mouthoff season with
"water" in June. We
were fortunate to have drawn such an engaged and lively audience, many of whom stayed the entire evening.
We look forward to featuring host
Karen Given from WBUR's
Only A Game. Karen is a Season II story slam winner, massmouth member, and future cohost of the Season III, Club Passim story slams. She will make sure stories flow and "
Creep in their petty pace " at our
Shakespeare mouthoff on the Boston Common on August 7th.
