The Jewish Theatre of Bloomington's Storytelling Event is this Sunday

The Jewish Theatre of Bloomington has a story for you. Several, actually. On Sunday, October 22, at 3pm, their Artistic Advisor, Darrell Stone, will emcee an afternoon of storytelling at the Beth Shalom Social Hall. It’s a fundraiser in celebration of Jewish Theatre of Bloomington’s eighteenth year. The storytellers are Sylvia McNair, Krista Detor, Gladys DeVane, Malcolm Dalglish, Francesa Sobrer, Richard Fish, and Malcolm Abrams. There will be music by Svetla Vladeva, and a Tree of Life painting by Jackie Olenick for auction. You can find more information at jewishtheatrebloomington.com, and listen to my conversation about the event with Darrell Stone, above.
