Storytelling
Check out "In Her Image: Folktales of Mothers and Daughters and the Men Who Love Them," a unique and creative evening with famed storyteller Jeannine Pasini Beekman in which she explores the connections between women sharing lives and laughter, homes and horrors. Included will be her newest full-length piece, "In Her Image," a dark and disturbing retelling of the tale we know as Snow White.
Beekman is known throughout the country for the wit, passion, and integrity of her work. She draws from an extensive repertoire of folklore and literature and has been in the vanguard of the storytelling revival. A professional storyteller since 1975, she is the 1991 recipient of the John Henry Faulk Award for Outstanding Contributions to Storytelling and the 1999 recipient of the National Storytelling Network Oracle Leadership Award.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
