NO, YOU TELL IT! Set for Comic Book Theater Festival, 6/8
By: Tyler Peterson May. 22, 2014
No, YOU Tell It! is a "switched-up" storytelling series where performers write their own true-life tale, and then trade with a partner to present each other's story. In this special Comic Book Theater Festival edition, the No, YOU Tell It! creative team will work with four storytellers - Fred Backus, Paige Blansfield, E. James Ford, and Nicole Greevy - as they swap stories based around a piece of comic art created by Sha-Nee Williams.
No, YOU Tell IT!: LEGACY is on Sunday 6/8, 7 p.m. as part of The Comic Book Theater Festival at The Brick (575 Metropolitan Avenue between Union Avenue and Lorimer Street, Brooklyn).
