My Story District feature from the old newsprint days of WCP.
My contribution to the Washington City Paper’s Fall Arts Guide was a preview of Story District’s 25th birthday party at the Lincoln Theatre on October 2. I wrote a cover story on how the organization has grown up a million years ago back in 2017.

The oral yarn-spinning concern now known by the moniker Story District is the subject of this week's Washington City Paper cover feature—my fourth, I think. I'm reasonably happy with how it turned out. I only regret that I didn't find the right space to mention John Kevin Boggs, who was a huge contributor to that organization, and to DC's performing arts community in general, as a storyteller and instructor. He passed away in March of 2015, much, much too soon.
*Kinda. The Speakeasy open mics, which were started by Washington Storytellers Theatre (est. 1991), began in 1997. WST became SpeakeasyDC in 2005 and then Story District in 2015.
