[STORYTELLING] “Stories From the Atlantic Night Cafe” by Mike Daisey. The New York Times calls Daisey a “master storyteller” and “one of the finest solo performers of his generation.” He’s said to tackle uneasy subject matter and peel away at it until he gets to its raw heart. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What makes Daisey’s performances truly amazing is that they are totally “limited edition.” Once he tells a tale, he files it away in the vaults never to be told again. Ka-put. Kind of like Disney and their DVD’s, but way better. An hour or so before the show, he sits down and outlines his performance. The audience and Daisey kind of hear the stories at the same time. I think that’s really cool. That’s kind of what I do every time I sit at a computer keyboard. Mental regurgitation—except my tales are all reruns. Except my tales are all reruns… reruns… reruns. Tickets: $20. Call 242-7469. [LILIANA BEGLEY]
