Debbie Page works for the Baltimore Country Public Schools in the Office of Special Education, she’s the co-president of the Autism Society of Baltimore-Chesapeake, and she’s also the mom of an autistic son. She shared her tale at the recent Stoop Storytelling event, “Parenthood:  Stories about birthing, finding, raising, (and surviving) children.”

The Stoop Storytelling Series recently hosted a program at Center Stage called:  “Parenthood:  Stories about birthing, finding, raising, (and surviving) children.”  Seven storytellers took their turns on stage, under the spotlight, in front of a live audience, to share their true, personal tales.

For most of us, the idea of a ‘trapeze artist’ brings to mind images of the big-top – audiences oohing and aahing while aerialists in sequined costumes dare to somersault through the air at great heights.  It certainly is theatre, in its way, but not the kind of theatre that Mara Neimanis is aiming to achieve.  The Baltimore aerialist has respect for the circus high-fliers, but she’s using her talents to perform in a way that’s much more intimate and… down-to-earth.

Stephen Wade always loved listening to old Library of Congress field recordings.  Then one day he decided to hit the road to search out the real-life roots of these iconic time capsules of American music.  For 18 years, this folk pilgrim traveled the country, meeting the friends, families, and sometimes the musicians themselves who were immortalized back in the 1930s and 40s by John A Lomax and his portable disc-cutting machine.
