VOX Goes Between the Sheets April 5

Storytelling event goes with an intimate theme

VOX PRESS presents the first VOX STORIES: “Between the Sheets” event on April 5, 2013 at the Powerhouse Community Arts Center. Doors open at 7 p.m., and the show starts at 8.

“The event is meant to offer a familiar pastime the same legitimacy art and music already enjoy in Oxford,” says Wayne Andrews, director of the Yoknapatawpha Arts Council. “Ten storytellers will share true tales of intimacy, relationships, and bedroom relations-—live and without notes.”

Tom Franklin, Tyler Keith, Bill Boyle, Dottie Knight, Kaitlyn Wall, Tyler, David Lonesome, Mickey Howley, Allie Trotter, Andy Paul, and Ryan Pierce will be performing. “The audience may already know these Oxford locals, but not like this,” says Andrews. “Volunteers from the audience will be asked to tell one-minute stories after intermission in the same style.”

The event is free and open to the public. Dinner and drinks are available for a small voluntary donation.
