Directed by Luan Schooler

Seventeen-year-old Randi has always lived with her dad, off-grid on a rotting old houseboat along the Columbia River’s edge. Each time she asks him where she came from or what happened to her mother, he weaves a magical tale of mermaids and stars. Why can’t he tell her the truth? She’s sick of it! And who is this mysterious Lady who thinks she’s controlling the narrative? Inspired by Shakespeare’s The Tempest, and Prospero’s misguided attempts to protect his daughter, The Storyteller explores the magic and danger of the stories we tell.

Winner of the Oregon Book Award for drama, the International Thomas Wolfe Playwriting Competition, and a finalist for the O’Neill Center’s National Playwrights Conference.
