This month Arctic Entries brings you “Be Kind. Rewind: Stories of nostalgia, hindsight and do-overs.” In the spirit of This American Life, The Moth and other storytelling events, Arctic Entries brings Alaskans to the stage to share their personal stories: funny, sad and sweet. At every performance, people tell a seven-minute long true story about themselves relating to the show’s theme. Local musicians perform a few songs as well. Proceeds made from Arctic Entries’s ticket sales go to a non-profit partner selected at the beginning of each season.
STORYTELLERS:
- Holly Brooks – “From Coach to Competitor”
- Jacqui Lambert – “Cutting the Line”
- Allen Thompson – “Valley of the 10,000 Smokes”
- Megan Edge – “Spring Creek Boys”
- Susan Pacillo – “Parking Fairies”
- Donteh Devoe – “My Best Friend”
- Destiny Waller & Michele McKean – “Blessed and Restored”
