Inner State Stories
When Alzheimer’s takes away his mother's short-term memory, Errol McLendon relies on the details of the road trips and roadside attractions they once shared to provide her comforting familiar territory during the last years of her life. In this solo show, he recalls his past through the many journeys his life has offered him. From childhood trips with his mother, to leaving home, to monthly trips home to care for his mother, each mile traveled offers humorous and poignant realizations.
Prior to moving to Chicago, ERROL MCLENDON had an actor’s life in Dallas doing sketch comedy, improv, melodramas, murder mysteries, serious drama, tv and film (look for his amazing work as the umbrella guy in JFK). For the past thirty years, Errol has been acting, directing and devising theatre in Chicago. He has been a company member for THEM Theatre, Red Tape Theatre and Forks & Hope Ensemble. While in Forks & Hope, Errol had the privilege to take “The Hunting of the Snark” to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. When Forks & Hope disbanded in March of 2019, Errol discovered storytelling and started working on his solo show. Errol has told stories at shows all across Chicago, is a two time Moth winner, and will have one of his stories featured on an upcoming Moth podcast. Errol also was chosen last October to be one of six storytellers to compete in the Story Slam at the International Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough, TN. Inner State Stories will tour to roadside attractions and retirement communities later this summer and has also been selected to be a part of both the Atlanta and Indianapolis Fringe Festival.
