QED: A Place to Show & Tell is an exciting addition to NYC storytelling. At least one excellent show that was without a venue, Talk Therapy, has a new home there, and there are other storytelling shows starting up in the space.
We all know what the big, stalwart shows are. But for every Moth, RISK! or Soundtrack Series, there’s another 10 shows quietly making an impact (and giving new voices a mic). Here are some of the more interesting ones that have appeared (or reappeared) on the landscape, plus some notes on shows that have stopped or gone on ‘pause.’
By combining clear themes with compelling imagery and events both internal and external — and being forced to write quickly and write short — I found the depth I wanted in five minutes. It’s been a beautiful discovery to make.
