This Month's Features:
Anne Thomas
Anne Thomas is a storyteller because the hours are better than lawyering, which is another thing she has done. Or at least, she says she started telling stories to get out of work at a reasonable time, which is nearly the same thing. She first began to tell stories on stage in 2011, telling about getting busted for making fun of art. Anne is a world traveler, seeker of adventure, and is defiant of authority. She travels the country, telling her autobiographical true tales and performing her one-woman show, “No More Helen Keller Jokesâ€. She performs in theaters, storytelling festivals, business auditoriums, trainings, and national conferences. Her memoir-in-progress expands her one-woman show, incorporating some of the thirty stories she has written since 2012. Learn more at http://annebthomas.com/annes-story/
Jeff Doyle
Storyteller and humorist Jeff Doyle tells wild, funny, and scary tales that will keep you on the edge of your seat! He developed his art by telling stories around the family campfire to kids, and now specializes in telling funny stories to adults and children. Besides storytelling, Jeff works as a professional home builder. He is a father, a dreamer, and an average guy who sometimes looks at things through the eyes of a 13-year-old boy. He takes joy in finding stories and humor in everyday life and telling them in a relatable way that every audience member can laugh with. Jeff’s versatility is on displayed in his CD “Live at the Opera House: A Collection of Funny Stories for Adultsâ€, in which Jeff finds humor in the simple things, from camping with the family to baking cookies for Santa Claus.
