The Story Show takes place twice a year and is a live storytelling event featuring stories written on a common theme. The next Story Show takes place on Jan. 11 at 7 p.m. at the Marion Ross Performing Arts Center in Albert Lea. The show’s theme is “Pass the Plate,” and nine writers will read their original stories, poems, letters, each approximately 5 to 7 minutes in length. Live music will be featured before the show and again before intermission. Tickets are at the Albert Lea Community Theatre at www.actonbroadway.com/tickets or anywhere MRPAC tickets are sold. As this is a story reading, it may not be suitable for very young children. Story speakers include Bev Jackson Cotter, Jane Bute, Robert Tewes, Zachary Heinken, Pam Johnson, Marti Jones, Janece Jeffrey, Jeff Zoller and Ross Pirsig. This season's show will benefit the Food for Backpacks program which provides food to students over weekends and holidays.
