AWKWARD ROMANCE (Pt. 7: "Growing Up Twisted") Come enjoy the 7th installment of GROWING UP TWISTED, a 9-part series of childhood memoirs, chronicling a time when innocence and discovery were giving way to the cynicism that comes with adulthood. Join us in the lovely garden setting of the CAYUGA STAGE, to savor 14 coming-of-age stories focused on a boy's first stirrings of romantic love, delivered by storyteller, impresario and benign Troublemaker Kevin Keelan, who has performed across California, and toured Ireland sharing tales from his life. In this chapter, you will hear:
Love! Romance!! Sex!!!
I’ll Touch Yours If You Touch Mine…
The Awakening
My First Girl Scout Adventure
My Heart’s Angel
Mystery Caller From Out of the Blue
Sexy Tammy: Lolita of the Playground
Susan Anderson: Nordic Goddess of the 7th Grade
Kissing Jessica Flannagan
Testing Dangerous Waters with Becky Wagner
Abandoned at the Party
(and) Our Tragic Junior High Love Triangle
Cover charge is just $1, a token fee to keep track of attendance- but donations are welcome to keep the operation viable and reward our extraordinary soloist NED ROBINSON on keyboards. Bring a picnic meal! Crack a bottle of wine! Come share the fellowship, and give your brain a short vacation. (It probably needs it!)
