Tidepools
By Francesca Sobrer
The story of one woman’s journey swimming in and out of the flotsam and jetsam of life. This hour-long performance takes the audience for a ride in the waves with the story of finding and living love only to be caught in an undertow of loss and grief that eventually drifts back onto the shore in a tidepool of realized joy.
Storyteller, writer, teacher, actor and director, Francesca Sobrer enjoys working with actors and storytellers to help them develop the story they want to tell. A one-time high school theatre director and English teacher, she has been published in Chicago Storytellers Press, from Stage to Page, True Stories About Love, and co-editor with Liminal Publishing, A POET’S TAROT by Josep Miquel Sobrer. A multi Moth StorySLAM winner in Chicago, Milwaukee and New York City, Sobrer has told stories for Back Yard Story, This Much is True, Soul Stories, South Specific, Soul Serenade, First Person Live, Nantucket Dreamland, BackRoom and Homewood Stories. www.francescasobrer.com
