If you were to believe the stories, Death seems pretty easy to outwit. Or maybe he’s just more compassionate than one would think. Come decide for yourself.

A PSG / Fertile Ground New Works production at The Artichoke. PDX.

If you were to believe the stories, Death seems pretty easy to outwit. Or maybe he’s just more compassionate than one would think. Come decide for yourself when Storytelling Crones, Anne Penfound, Barbara Fankhauser and Julie Strozyk tickle your funny bone and shiver your spine with a collection of their favorite stories of everyone's final dancing partner. From the promise of saving one's soul -- or sole-- to a rollicking birthday bash and a visit to a graveyard, we promise you’ll never think of death in quite the same way.

Meet the artists! You can catch this crew this Saturday at Artichoke Music, in 'S*x, Love & Death: The Ties that Bind Us.' Get your tickets now!

From Irish myths and Russian fairytales to Mexican folktales and Oregon tall tales, Will Hornyak weaves a wide web of oral traditions into thoughtful and well-crafted performances.

Gretchen found her storytelling niche by writing and performing stories about women who love women. Her crisp, commanding performances of personal stories, original folktales, fairy tales and myths are a delight for audiences.

Julie's long career in storytelling stretches from telling “scary stories” to her 6th grade classmates to enthralling Portland audiences with her embodiment of the folkloric character, Baba Yaga. Julie enjoys telling traditional, historical and personal tales that touch the heart and “give it a little squeeze”.
