Pretty Good Stories - Show #5! In Berkeley

Please join us for this night of four stories told by expert storytellers, plus original songs from a live musician on the piano.
Thanks to all who came out to show #4. It was great night on the couches of The Back Room. Becky and Amy wowed us all. Don held it all down with his electric guitar. And now...
...we are delighted to welcome Gina Stahl-Haven and Ruven Hannah to the Pretty Good Stories stage, along with singer-songwriter-musician Jon Smear, who will be playing a few of his songs, in addition to tying the evening together with music.
Gina is a storyteller, improviser and comedian who has performed all over and won numerous awards. She is also a professor of rhetoric and communication at University of San Francisco. Ruven is a dynamic storyteller, a Moth StorySlam winner, and also is an expert at computers. Jon will join us on the grand piano, singing his original, quirky and insightful compositions. You do not want to miss this trio.
Beau Ryder Davis has numerous Moth StorySlam wins to his credit, including a Grand Slam win. When not telling stories, he is performing comedy. Tom Darci has a single Moth StorySlam win and is really hoping some of Beau’s winning ways rub off on him.
They created Pretty Good Stories to give the room for experienced storytellers to showcase longer, more in-depth stories. Some are funny. Some are moving. All are pretty good. Join us.
