Edmonds Driftwood Players brings the art of storytelling to the stage in Troubadours

Edmonds Driftwood Players is pleased to invite the community to Wade James Theatre on Saturday, November 14 for a night of concoctions and verisimilitude, solemnity and whimsy, red herrings and revelations as artists, authors, actors, playwrights, poets, film makers, and musicians will share their stories, their scripts and their songs.

What is storytelling? The dictionary defines it as “the conveying of events in words, sound and/or images, often by improvisation or embellishment.”

The stories in TROUBAOURS are told through readings, recitations, classic and original songs, acted scenes, monologues and film. They are funny, touching and thought-provoking tales told by many of Driftwood’s favorites, including Terry Boyd, Dawn Cornell, Greg LoProto, Cindy Giese French, Carla Fisher, Michael A. Fox, Asa Sholdez, Boyd Morrison, Laura West, Steve Jaquith, musicians Michael Fox, Rod Higuchi, Chontel Klobas and Eric Klobas (core members of STRUM – Seattle’s Totally Relaxed Ukulele Musicians) and many others.

They will perform original pieces and old favorites including works by Mark Twain, Babs Lindsay, Suzanne Bailie, Herman Melville, and Joe Starzyk. Hosted by Ted Jaquith, this unique one-night-only event will leave the audience saying “now THAT is storytelling!”

All tickets are only $10. Available online, by phone at 425-774-9600, or in person weekdays, noon to 5pm at 306 Main Street, Edmonds.

Performance Date: Saturday, Nov. 14, 2015 – 8pm. Wade James Theatre, 950 Main Street, Edmonds.
