More storytelling at Magnolia inn

Posted on by Sharon

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.

Tony Toledo has been paying the rent with his mouth since 1990.

They live on a massive tenth of an acre estate with just room enough for his wife’s basil, his books and their Corn Museum . Tony is 52 years old but reads at a 67 year old level. He also hosts SPEAK UP! Spoken Word Open Mike every Wednesday evening in Lynn , MA , which has been going strong for two years.

Alicia Quintano has traveled to 38 states telling stories in theaters, universities, coffeehouses, and on the radio.  New England appearances include Gloucester Stage Company, Passim’s, and First Night Boston.

Andrea Lovett was born talking and telling tales but has been telling  professionally since 1992. She tells to audiences of all ages on all stages. She is the co-founder of MassMouth and the ever growing  series of story slams located in both downtown Boston and Cambridge .  On the 28th of March she’ll be telling personal stories with lots of  humor tucked in.

Laura Lovett is an author and storyteller. She has two novels in progress, has had work published in magazines and has had works read on radio. She’s currently a student at UMass Amherst.

With her singing saw in tow, over the years Leigh Calabrese has been humbled to perform with artists including 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, it does cut wood.
