FrayBoston--Featured Storytellers We've got a great list of Featured Storytellers including: a fella who has been called the Jim Carrey of the storytelling world, Joe Theroux; an award-winning poet, performance artist and part-time diva, Jaclyn Friedman; and a lively member of the Tongue-In-Cheek Storytellers, Kevin Brooks! Featured Performers for Fray Day 5 in Cambridge, MA!Jaclyn Friedman is an award-winning poet, performance artist and part-time diva living in Somerville, MA. She is a columnist for Sojourner and Butchdykeboy.com, and has performed for SisterSpit, Astraea, and multitudinous venues across New England. She currently works as the Events Coordinator for New Words Live, and is pursuing her MFA in Creative Writing at Emerson College. Joe Theroux has performed all over the place: schools, libraries, parties, and playgrouds all over Massachusetts and Rhode Island. This past summer saw Joe at 39 different Rhode Island libraries as part of the Office of Library Information Services "Chill Out at the Libary" program. He continues to wow children and parents alike with his high-energy physical performances. For more information see his website! Kevin Brooks specializes in telling personal tales from his urban childhood of the 60's, his 70's adolescence, 80's adulthood, 90's parenthood and new millennium survival. His stories for adults and family audiences resonate with humor and poignancy. He has been a featured performer at A Day for Sam Storytelling Festival, Club Passim, Brother Blue's Weekly Storytelling series, Tellabration shows in NY, CT and MA, The Three Apples Storytelling Festival, Connecticut Storytelling Festival and First Night Boston. Kevin also performs as part of the Tongue-In-Cheek Storytellers - a group of three awesome performers who don't talk about diversity, but embody it in their presence and their stories. In a previous lifetime, Frances Donovan was the consort of a warrior queen on the steppes of Asia. In this one, she codes for a living and writes for the love of it. T-Stories is a blog of "things seen and imagined on the Boston MBTA." The Garden of Words is, well, a garden of words. Jean Armstrong from Portland Maine has been telling stories since childhood competing with her father and brothers for airtime at supper but now tells to less competive audiences! She provides storytelling literacy workshops for school age children but her adult only tales range from kissing stories, world travel adventures, invisable memories to mistaken identity stories. She has just returned from telling at the Minnesota Fringe Festival.
