Ever wonder what you would have done in 1850s US when all legal action had failed to end chattel slavery and bounty hunters/slave catchers were violently abducting your Black neighbors as far north as NYC and Boston ? Me too. Have you ever asked yourself what you would have done in 1930s Germany ? Or N**i occupied Europe? Me too. That’s my theme at my part of this performance this weekend at Sharing The Fire in Glens Falls, NY. nestorytelling.org/stf26

"...Nine doctors were gathered at a Brooklyn Public Library branch in Fort Greene on a Saturday night to tell true stories at an event called Airway. All work in Brooklyn at Maimonides Health, most of them in the hospital’s emergency room. They were taking the night off to try to talk honestly about the pride and occasional inadequacy they felt in their work. In concept, Airway is like the Moth — ordinary people telling everyday stories — but with all the vérité drama of HBO Max’s scripted E.R. show “The Pitt.”

E.R. doctors want you to know that they are people, too. At an event called Airway, one confessed, “I do not like these big, high stakes, bloody, messy, risky procedures.”
