2010 | BEST STORYTELLING EVENT

The premise of Two Chairs Telling is simple. Once a month, two skilled spoken-word performers are given a stage together, and everything else--the themes addressed, the tone, and the stories told--is up to the pair to decide.

The "drama" that takes place there is of a particular variety, owing to Sommers's wizardry in blending live action, puppetry, and existential weirdness, and in the last year A Prelude to Faust and Eleanor's Cabinet provided ample material for those looking to fuel their dreamtime fantasies. Open Eye consistently cracks open the human skull to dredge out the uncanny subconscious stuff inside, while providing inclusion and warmth in an environment friendly to the youthful, the infirm, and those of us marking the years in between.
