Storyteller Night – “Women and Courage” Tales of Adventure and Vanity

The Huntington Beach Art Center provides the setting for three true tales of unstoppable courage and vanity. Featured storytellers include Debra Ebrhardt, Brenda Adelman, and Mariana Williams. Actress/Author Debra Ebrhardt knows “Jamaica Farewell” is more than a song. With the unwitting help of a CIA Agent, she risked her life escaping her home in Jamaica during a violent revolution. Actress Brenda Adelman’s mother was shot and killed by her father and then her father quickly took a new bride, her aunt (her mother’s sister). Her life lesson was to learn, then teach, forgiveness workshops. On a less dramatic scale, although equally shocking, author/storyteller Mariana Williams undergoes budget plastic surgery—with a doctor practicing out of his suburban home in Park City, Utah. “If the audience doesn’t lean in, gasp, tear-up, or belly laugh, we haven’t done our job,” says producer Mariana Williams. She adds, “We will do our job.” $10 at the door or in advance at BrownPaperTickets.com.
