Even the best of intentions often lead to unintended consequences. Sure, it seemed like a good idea at the time. You had plans. Or maybe, you didn’t. You never know where you’ll end up, when those plans get knocked off course. Little did you know that sometimes not getting what you want leads to what you need. Or maybe not.

Storytellers Ken Iverson, Juliana Person and Steve Henegar find themselves out on a limb, once again, in search of new perspectives and specializing, as we all do, in unintended consequences.

Saturday, Sept. 7 in the Clinton Street Theater at 7:30 pm. Doors open at 7:00 pm.

Tickets at the door: $15;

Buy on-line and save: General Public: $12 / Guild Members and their Guests: $10

Ken Iverson got into Storytelling quite by accident. He heard a Storyteller, loved it. Later he told a story, loved that too. He chose to keep following ‘story’ and to see where it might lead. He helped found the Portland Storytellers’ Guild 35 years ago. Now he performs about 100 times a year and he’s still surprised by where ‘story’ leads him.

Juliana Person is a winery lab supervisor and cancer survivor with a passion for travel.  She has collected a fair few stories over the years but is still relatively new to telling them.  She attended a Portland Storytellers Guild performance a couple years ago, was chosen as the audience teller, and was instantly hooked.  She has been enjoying putting greater focus on stories in her life ever since.

Mid-westerner Steven Henegar celebrates the wonderful variety of stories we use to share our lives. He calls up the everyday and the fantastic to discover feelings and experiences that connect us all. The twenty-five year veteran performer and workshop leader blends the easy conversation of his family’s storytelling with incisive imagery shaped by a decade in the theater as an actor, writer and director. Truth & Lies mined from a long life looking around.
