Story of the Month

"The Story-Teller"
March 2008 - This story by Saki is one I love to perform - whiny kids, a cranky curmudgeon, and great storytelling! Perfect!

"The Necklace"
April 2008 - A French woman's desire to wear diamonds, just once, changes the course of her life. Guy de Maupassant's most famous story by far.

"Uncle Podger"
May 2008 - From an early chapter in the novel "Three Men in a Boat" by Jerome K. Jerome comes this anecdote of the world's worst handyman. One of my wife's favorite stories, for reasons I don't want to think about....

"The Cask of Amontillado"
June 2008 - One of several Edgar Allan Poe stories I love to tell. Can a simple lie during the festivities of Mardi Gras lure a man to his death? The narrator certainly hopes so....

"What Stumped the Bluejays"
July 2008 - Mark Twain reflects on the personality of the species and tells of one very stubborn - and foul-mouthed - bluejay. This story makes frequent appearances in "Laugh-Out-Loud Favorites," and though I do at least five Twain pieces, this one is most common.
