THE STORYTELLER at Artists Repertory Theatre!

“This play skates right on the edge of fantasy and reality… full of twists and turns, surprises and delights. But also grief, isolation, longing. It’s a visceral experience of the truest love and the most painful loss that reflects how we shape stories, how they shape us, and what happens when they change … This world premiere is theater at its finest– beautifully written, emotionally resonant, and executed with artistry.” – Krista Garver, Broadway World

“The world premiere of this warm-hearted play, which won the 2023 Oregon Book Award for drama …explores constellations of intriguing themes. In just 90 minutes, it touches on grief, parenthood, and isolation, to name a few of its topics. Most compelling of all, though, is its exploration of the power of storytelling, encompassing how we change our stories to comfort or entertain, and who has the right to tell them.” – Linda Ferguson, Oregon ArtsWatch
