Working in the service industry gives people the opportunity to see the best and worst. Tonight, Tales from the South has its first “Service Industry Night” celebrating the people who work in that industry–and the experiences they have had. The storytellers tonight are Skip Dahlgren, Rhett Brinkley, and Bill Scott.
Music is by the Salty Dogs and blues guitarist Mark Simpson. Tonight’s event takes place at Sticky’s Rock ‘n Roll Chicken Shack.
“Tales from the South” is a showcase of writers reading their own true stories. While the show itself is unrehearsed, the literary memoirs have been worked on for weeks leading up to the readings. Stories range from funny to touching, from everyday occurrences to life-altering tragedies.
Dinner is served from 5pm to 6:30pm, the show starts at 7pm. Admission is $15 in advance, $20 at the door if any tickets still remain. Dinner can be purchased separately.
Previous episodes of “Tales from the South” air on KUAR Public Radio on Thursdays at 7pm. This program will air on February 5.
