Macabre and sardonic tales!
If you ever thought that modern technology and high-tech CGI special effects had killed the magic of old-fashioned art of story-telling, the performance of three highly talented, Seattle based story-tellers will change you mind! Scott Auguston, Bret Fetzer and Kelleen Conway Blanchard delighted the audience at 18th and Union with three different tales ostensibly about animals, but essentially were tales about the foibles of human beings and their misadventures.
Blanchard’s story involved a woman, who can talk to animals and inadvertently gets drawn into a rough crowd of street ones, living in her alley. Their code of conduct more or less resembles the Mafia as they inflict revenge on humans who mistreat pets. A very expressive actress herself, her delivery of the extremely funny text was hilarious.
Auguston told the tale of a failed actress armadillo. Due to a strange accident, which is the impetus for a series of events, her career inadvertently gets back on track in a direction she never imagined. Auguston was a master of strange accents and the story itself revealed lots about the human condition.
An old-fashioned, Southern –style storyteller, Bret Fetzer told a Faustian tale about an apprentice who makes a pact with the devil, but unlike most Faustian tales does not end up regretting it. There is a basic moral lesson there, be happy with change; it may be for the better.Animal Saints & Animal Sinners-A Mistake only you can Make. 18th and Union.1406-18th Ave, Seattle, WA 98122, (Central District-corner of 18th and Union) Fri, Sat 7:30 pm.
