Carapace celebrates two year anniversary at Manuel’s
The storytelling series celebrates “true personal stories told live by ordinary people”
Carapace, the Manuel’s Tavern base of Atlanta’s burgeoning storytelling scene, celebrates two years of raucous raconteurs tonight. The series began as a regional chapter of The Moth, the NYC based storytelling organization that has spun off events, a radio show, and recently landed a MacArthur Grant. Now a completely independent organization, Carapace has been bringing in crowds to Manuel’s Tavern to share “true personal stories told live by ordinary people, without notes, to a new theme every month.”
Today, Carapace organizer Randy Osbourne announced that he’ll be writing a series called “Faces of Carapace” for Patch, profiling regulars at the event. That kicks off with a profile of Brian Bannon.
The anniversary event tonight, themed around Faults and Flaws, begins at 7:30 pm. More details on Facebook.
