NPR contributor presents workshop at ICC Oct. 18

Published 8:23pm Tuesday, October 16, 2012

Join NPR contributor and one of New York’s most beloved storytellers, Faye Lane for a free interactive writing workshop “Tell and Write Your Own Story,” encouraging people to tell their extraordinary stories.

Faye’s Texas family, a father who was a Navy sailor and a mother who owned a beauty shop, gave rise to a rich fabric of stories and community.

In this workshop, Faye will create an inspiring opportunity for participants to share their own stories and learn about each other.

The workshop takes place Thursday, Oct. 18 from 10 – 11:30 a.m. at Isothermal Community College’s Polk Center in Columbus.

The event is free and open to the public, but seating is limited.  Please call 828-894-3092 to reserve your space.

Lane will perform her “Beauty Shop Stories” at the foundation on the campus of ICC in Spindale later that same evening.

The show has received high praise including from New York Magazine which said, “She had them gobbling from the palm of her hand… they were howling, crying, falling in love with her.
