Black Box Storytelling Theatre will present Soaring Stories with Regi Carpenter and Tom Chalmers on January 26th at the SOL Bar at New Mountain Asheville.
Since 1993, Regi has been motivating and inspiring audiences with a diverse repertoire of world stories, folktales, myths, music and personal stories of her hometown Clayton, NY on the St. Lawrence River in Northern New York. In each story and with each telling, Regi mixes mirth, music and everyday events into myths and muses about life, death and nothing in particular. A storyteller since 1996, Regi has performed at the National Storytelling Festival as well as many other national storytelling venues. She has been a storyteller in resident at the International Storytelling Center in Jonesborough, Tennessee. Equally adept at children’s programs and adult performances and workshops, Regi’s work is a “big hearted embrace of the world.” Loren Niemi, Executive Director, Heart of the Beast Theater Regi is a professor of storytelling at Ithaca College in Ithaca, New York as well as a teaching artist for students ages 4-22. She is also a recipient of the JJ Reneaux Emerging Artist Award, a Leonard Bernstein Teaching Fellowship Award, the Parent’s Choice Gold award, the Parents’ Guide to Children’s Media Award and the Storytelling World Award.
