SUMMARY:Chris Vinsonhaler "Beowulf"
DESCRIPTION:Chris Vinsonhaler brings an excerpt from her new translation of Beowulf to 1762 Hennepin Stage. Her richly resonate text is illustrated by supporting actors and the evening performance is a benefit for the Friends of the Mississippi River. \nFor more information\, visit the project’s website at beowulf.live and check out the trailer for the performance “Monsters and Men”. \nTeller Bio: Chris Vinsonhaler is a retired Professor of English at Borough of Manhattan Community College. She has toured nationally and internationally\, bringing her performance of Beowulf to a wide range of audiences–from scholarly venues to schools to community events. \nCritical acclaim for Chris Vinsonhaler “Beowulf”: \n“Chris Vinsonhaler’s new translation of Beowulf is a bold and risky venture. She has thrown down a challenge to those who (think they) know this complex and mysterious poem with a reading that goes completely against the grain: it confirms our suspicions that heroes and monsters are disturbingly similar\, and more controversially\, depicts the Scandinavian characters—including Beowulf himself—as deceitful and rapacious murderers\, making traditional understandings of the poem look naive. . . . This is essential—and bracing—reading.” — Heather O’Donoghue\, Professor Emeritus\, Norse-Icelandic Literature\, University of Oxford \nNOTE: Starting on March 31\, 2025 Hennepin Ave 26th St to Douglas Ave will be under construction. Check our ‘Getting Here’ page for parking options. \n\n\n\n\nTo register: \n\nAdd the number of tickets you want by clicking the ‘+’ button\nClick the ‘Get Tickets’ button.

SUMMARY:Megan Wells "Helen's Troy"
DESCRIPTION:This nationally traveled Tour-de-force is a riveting and relevant reimagining of the ancient epic.  The Trojan War\, Homer’s famous prose poem\, has been predominantly told\, re-told\, filmed and written through masculine sensibilities. \nIn the hands of award-winning storyteller/actress/playwright Megan Wells\, the bones of the story remain true to the classic versions. Thrillingly though\, the heart and action of HELEN’s TROY opens the story soul to the feminine sensitivities. \nA hybrid of theater and storytelling – Megan knows this story but does not follow a written script – she spins the tale anew with each audience so that the experience is deeply akin to Homer’s original form. \nHelen’s Troy has been featured to standing ovations at Island Theater on Bainbridge Island\, American Theater in Rockford\, Oak Park Shakespeare Festival\, National Storytelling Festival as well as multiple theatrical and storytelling venues. \n  \nTeller Bio: \nLearn more at Megan Wells website \nMegan Wells is a respected and experienced story and theater artist. She is known for creating an intimate storytelling atmosphere\, infusing her characters with living souls\, and delivering the experience with delicious theatrical timing. Author and Professor Rives Collins says it best: \n“Megan Wells is both intimate and epic in equal measure.” \nAn award-winning storyteller\, Megan performs in museums and symphonies\, enhances education for thousands of children\, entertains families in festivals and libraries\, and helps executives\, actors\, and storytellers craft powerful stories to effect change. \nWith more than forty years of experience\, Megan has developed an extensive story repertoire. Perhaps\, her daughters describe her most accurately: \n“Mom’s a storytelling jukebox. Put a quarter ‘n pick your favorite!” \nMegan is also among the top literary storytellers in America. As the Artistic Director of the Ray Bradbury Storytelling Festival\, Megan was granted permission by Ray himself to perform his works. Additionally\, she is equally comfortable in the jazzier domains of Chicago’s current spoken word explosion. \n\nTo register: \n\nAdd the number of tickets you want by clicking the ‘+’ button\nClick the ‘Get Tickets’ button.\n\n
