From the Times–
The second in the “Tell Inn” storytelling series takes place this Sunday from 4 to 6 p.m. at Inn Magnolia at 18 Norman Ave. in Gloucester. The event features storytellers Tony Toledo, Alicia Quintano, Andrea Lovett, Laura Lovett and Leigh Calabrese on her singing saw.
Guests are invited to come share a story of their own (under 5 minutes) and participate in the “Magic Hat” open mic storytelling event.
Toledo has been paying the rent with his mouth since 1990. He adds sign language to some stories since his wife is deaf.
Quintano has traveled to 38 states telling stories in theaters, universities, coffeehouses, and on the radio.
Andrea Lovett has been telling professionally since 1992. She is the co-founder of MassMouth and the ever-growing series of story slams in downtown Boston and Cambridge.
Laura Lovett has two novels in progress, has had works published in magazines and read on radio. She is a student at University of Massachusetts Amherst.
With her singing saw in tow, Calabrese has performed with artists What Time Is It Mr. Fox?, The Sob Sisters, Sukey Tawdry, Beat Circus, The Burlesque Revival Association, and (of course) as part of the soundtrack to countless haunted houses. And yes, her saw does cut wood.
