Past storytellers include some of the area's most entertaining school bus drivers, mushroom hunters, politicians, socialites, sex workers, musicians, authors, systems analysts, and social workers. With Merrill Garbus, Michael Hitchcock, Adam Savage, Ayelet Waldman, Gary Anthony Williams and musical guests Dawn Silva & Gail Muldrow, with music by Marc Capelle.
