5/4, Saturday 7-9:30pm. WCCLS Art of Story's finale hosted at Beaverton Arts and Communication Magnet Academy. Didn't know this is already the 15th year. Last year I went to the finale and liked it so much that this year, I attended a few more events of this week-long story telling festival:I really liked the stories by John Wylder, Janies Collins, Chuck McConnell on Tuesday's Older and Wiser story. Also went an hour-long program by Lawrence Howard and Robert Jones (who sang and played guitar), and enjoyed both. Tonight's lineup is:
Student Story Slam Contest winner: Grayson Wright - Cookies are not Hard to Make Adult Story Slam Contest winner: Norina Beck - The Sausage Date Kelly Hoffman - Give Me Hope! Lawrence Howard - Night on the Island Jasmin Cardenas - teenagers making an impact Rev. Robert B. Jones, Sr. - I Can't Play Like BB KingMy favorites are "the sausage date" and "night on the island". They are all very good.
Desert during intermission was quite good.
