SUMMARY:Working Class Stories
DESCRIPTION:Join Frank Gioia and Barry MacDonald for a night of working class stories- from the streets of 1950s Brooklyn\, to military service in Vietnam\, to the grueling work of resurfacing asphalt driveways. These gritty stories share the experience of hard work\, sacrifice\, and not so idyllic life. Both Frank and Barry are published authors and veterans of the AMSS stage and are sure to deliver an interesting performance. \nTeller bios: \nFrank Gioia is a writer\, actor and poet. His memoir\, The Mercury Man: Remembering Brooklyn\, is a collection of personal narratives about growing up on the streets of New York in the 1950s and his service in Vietnam in the 1960s. These are his recollections of coming of age in an earlier time and place\, in a Brooklyn that no longer exists. Gioia’s book is published by Bordighera Press and used as a source for the study of the Italian diaspora. His work has also been published in The Artful Mind\, the on-line journal\, Ovunque Siamo and What Do You Want to Know\, an Anthology of Veterans’ Voices. His book has been used in the writing project at Mule Creek State Prison and the MFA program at the Vermont College of Fine Arts. He has read his work in the Berkshires\, the Twin Cities\, Sacramento and the Sierra Foothills. \nBarry MacDonald goes by the dharma name “Tekkan\,” which means “Iron Man” in 13th century Japanese. Tekkan indicates a “settled practitioner of great determination.” He was given this name when he took Buddhist vows. He lived in Japan for 9 years\, teaching English at the Berlitz Corporation in Kyoto. He practiced Zen at Hosshin-ji\, a Zen temple in Obama — a small town on the coast of the Sea of Japan. He is the president of the Crack Walnut Branch of Twin Cities Poets and Writers Group. He has written 77 books. He was the featured poet in the 2022 volume of Startled by Laughter — New Poetry in Traditional Forms; and was in the top ten of 2\,000 poets published by the first issue of Maplestaple in a literary contest in 2023. He has also been published in numerous anthologies\, including Agates\, Rewilding Hope\, The Nations Underground — Writing with Our Ancestors\, and Little by Little the Bird Build’s It’s Nest. \n  \n\nTo register: \n\nAdd the number of tickets you want by clicking the ‘+’ button\nClick the ‘Get Tickets’ button\nNote- After purchase\, tickets & receipt may arrive in your ‘Junk Mail’ folder

SUMMARY:Minnesota Fringe: More Better Stories with Vianna Isbister
DESCRIPTION:“Leaking (The Wolves Are Everywhere)”\n \nHow do we write an ending to a story that isn’t finished? Vianna Isbister’s show Leaking weaves together fractured fairy tales and crafted personal stories to explore how trauma leaks into our interactions\, perceptions\, and futures. \n“As she ran her finger down the gold thread holding together her cloak\, Little Red was tossed back into the past where she had locked the memories…” – Leaking: THE WOLVES ARE EVERYWHERE (2024) \nThis production is recommended for 18+ audiences. \nVianna Isbister is a multi-hyphenate performer and academic with a B.A. in Theatre and an M.A. in Communication and Storytelling Studies. Specializing in the art of narrative and movement\, Vianna crafts stories that blur the line between the spoken and the unspoken. Her work invites audiences into liminal spaces where shadows stir\, voices linger\, and imagination takes on a life of its own. \n\n$15 cash tickets at the door only! (Sorry\, no additional button discount for cash tickets) $25 advance credit card tickets and information at More Better Stories \nShowtimes: Sunday\, August 9 at 7:00pm and Monday\, August 10 at 8:30pm \n

SUMMARY:Minnesota Fringe: More Better Stories with Jon Carlson
DESCRIPTION:“Oz-America”\n \nDuring the past thirty years\, I have lived for three years in Minneapolis’ Phillips neighborhood; twenty in Whittier; seven in Eau Claire\, Wisconsin; and\, most recently\, several months in the Saint Anthony Park neighborhood in Saint Paul\, Minnesota. Having been born August 19\,1973 in Denver\, Colorado\, the only official citizenship I have ever held is that of the United States of America. \nBut\, having worked for railroads for the past thirteen years\, I have also been a de facto citizen of what I like to call “Greater Trumpistan\,” since Railroaders are among the most vehement of our country’s politically enraged MAGA devotees. The contrasting energies of my work and my polity inspire me–artistically– to alchemize both MAGA rage and the rage that animates The Resistance. This political and artistic intention has crystalized through immersion in the storytelling community at the American School of Storytelling\, an experience that keeps teaching me that not only can Imagination and Humor dance with Rage\, they desire to do so for the sake of the soul’s liberation and human solidarity. \n\n$15 cash tickets at the door only! (Sorry\, no additional button discount for cash tickets) $25 advance credit card tickets and information at More Better Stories \nShowtimes: Tuesday\, August 11 at 7:00pm; Wednesday\, August 12 at 7:00pm; Sunday\, August 16 at 2:30pm
