Joining Regina for this romp through the entanglements of love is jazz composer Michael Moss. As for her CHOOSE LOVE button, Regina muses, “If someone has a problem with that, they obviously have a problem.” reginaress.com, m2-theory.com

Old-Fashioned Storytelling
The Rotunda4014 Walnut StreetPhiladelphia, PA 19104United States609-807-8238Old-Fashioned Storytelling to Chase the Winter Blues Away

Light refreshments will be served.
Hosted by storyteller Denise McCormack, each evening will feature a special guest artist, along with other dedicated tellers, poised to showcase this favorite pastime and its rich allure as both an ancient and contemporary art form.
On Friday, February 28, internationally acclaimed storyteller Ed Stivender will regale all with his wit, charm, and stalwart stories, while on Saturday, February 29, Ingrid Bohn, a favorite regional teller, will delight with a lively fare of uniquely-spun traditional tales. Each performer is a member and supporter of the Patchwork Storytelling Guild in Philadelphia.

Even the composition of story, its elements, gives us a road map to live by. Joseph Campbell, Carl Jung, Vladimir Propp, and others have illuminated our role of hero in our own stories, but more than that, they have laid out our optional roles in the lives and stories of others.
Stories are our human marker. They enable us to experience empathy, to connect, to understand.... For this event, we want everyone to have fun."About Ed Stivender
