Scott Whitehair has been the guiding force in the Chicago story scene.  As a performer, Scott has brought his dynamic blend of vulnerability, humor, and insight to venues, festivals, and conferences all over the world, and has been seen/heard on NPR, PBS, WGN Radio, FOX-TV, Sirius XM, and The Risk Podcast. He is a two-time Moth Slam winner. His work ranges from the heartbreaking to the hilarious, and he has personal stories for both an afternoon with a child in your lap and a late night with a cocktail in your hand.

Scott will be leading workshops at the Grange on Saturday, open to everyone. Come learn the basics of storytelling while sharing and experimenting with others. Find out how you can unearth the stories that surround you.

Saturday evening, Scott will perform a solo show of personal stories — powerful, funny and moving. Sunday evening brings local storytellers to the stage with their own stories and a few of Scott’s. A reception will follow at Whitcomb’s.

Don’t miss this fantastic weekend! CLICK HERE for all the details and registration information.

This project is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrants Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by the Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts.
