Hear SNOW WHITE as never before
Saturday, November 28, 2020, 6:00pm Mountain
The show will take place at 6:00pm MST (Denver) or 5:00pm PST (Los Angeles), 7:00pm CST (Chicago), 8:00pm EST (New York)
This is an Adults Only show. The stories range from humorous to very dark retellings, and we recommend this show to only those over 18 years of age.
"Once upon a time there was a girl with hair as dark as ebony, lips as red as blood, and skin as white as snow . . ."
Let Stories with Spirit and our dear friends bring you a tale both familiar and strange. Five tellers will bring you five very different versions of Snow White. From the fairy tale classic to the wild west. From the exceedingly humorous to the deeply dark these tellings and re-tellings will range up the emotional gamut.
Rachel Ann Harding and Cooper Braun are so happy to welcome in our dear friends to this new style of show. Janice Del Negro, Milbre Burch, and Laura Packer each bring us deep and abiding love for fairy tales, while at the same time asking what voices might be heard through a classic story that have not been heard before.
When you get your ticket (you only need one, regardless of how many people are behind your computer) you will receive a confirmation email with the ZOOM link to the show.
This show is a Pay What It's Worth , Pay What You Can event based on your experience of the show. When the show is done we ask that you pay what you felt the hour of art was worth. If you feel the need to pay before the show, there will be links to do so in your confirmation email.

7th Sacred Storytelling
Host: Artists Standing Strong Together
Sunday, November 29, 2020, 2:00pm-5:00pm Mountain / 4:00pm-7:00pm Eastern
Hope comes in many forms. Beth Moore, a Christian Bible Study teacher and leader says, "Laughter is audible hope." Hope might be the acronym for "Hold on, Pain Ends", OR, "Helping Other People Excel", OR Alcoholics Anonymous' "Heart Open, Please Enter."
The stories at this 7th Sacred Storytelling provide hopes in all the above forms and more, as well honoring those whose bodies are no longer with us, but their voices remain in our heart and ears. Honored storytellers will be U. Utah Phillips, Dianne De Las Casas and Roslyn Bresnick-Perry. Storytellers include, but not limited to Heather Forest (NY), Gwenda Ledbetter (NC), Anne
Rutherford (OR), Roopa Mohan (CA), Joe Conrad (OH) and a special 25 minute story time with Judith Black (MA). Bring your tea or coffee and sit back to hear stories that inspire, educate and give hope.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
Please feel free to share this invite with family, friends, colleagues, acquaintances and even strangers – everyone needs hope!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Peo0CdGtDT4
What is Stories in Living Color? Storytellers working together to learn about race, and unlearn racism and discrimination. Storytellers of different races, or from communities that face discrimination have teamed up and crafted individual, but "paired" stories; stories that intersect and illustrate aspects of race, racism, and discrimination. Our goal is to uncover our individual
racist and discriminatory tendencies, unlearn those tendencies, and together help to change our society.
This event is a co-production of the Storytelling Association of California and Six Feet Apart Productions and features Stories in Black and White, told by paired black and white storytellers.
